Yes, Miley, 22, is one of the most ardent and vocal LGBT rights advocates Hollywood has ever known! Here’s a timeline of her activism:

2009: In April, during the annual Miss USA pageant, Miss California Carrie Prejean tells contest judge Perez Hilton she believes only heterosexual couples should be allowed to legally marry. Afterward, in a Twitter conversation about the remark to Hilton, 16-year-old Miley tweets, "Everyone deserves to love and be loved and most importantly smile."

Barbara Gittings was a key figure in the campaign to persuade mental health groups to declassify homosexuality as a disorder. She also participated in one of the first gay rights demonstrations at the White House, in 1965, calling for an end to antigay discrimination in federal employment. She’s often called the mother of the gay rights movement.
