Miley Cyrus has long been celebrated for her boundary-breaking career, bold personality, and advocacy for self-expression.
From her days as the star of Hannah Montana to her reinvention as a pop icon, Miley has consistently championed authenticity and self-discovery.

Recently, Miley shared another deeply personal revelation.
In an interview with Variety, she spoke candidly about coming to terms with her s**uality and gender identity before ultimately identifying as pans**ual.
Her journey of self-discovery started young, even as she navigated life in the limelight.
“My whole life, I didn’t understand my own gender and my own s**uality,” Miley confessed, reflecting on the confusion she felt as a child.
She revealed that it was during her time filming Hannah Montana that she began to question everything.
“My eyes started opening in the fifth or sixth grade. My first relationship in my life was with a chick.”
Miley also explained that she has never felt comfortable with labels, rejecting the word ‘bis**ual’ because it felt too limiting.
“I always hated the word ‘bis**ual,’ because that’s even putting me in a box. I don’t ever think about someone being a boy or someone being a girl,” she said, emphasizing her attraction to people regardless of gender.
It wasn’t until she visited an LGBTQ+ center in Los Angeles that Miley found a label that resonated.
“I saw one human in particular who didn’t identify as male or female,” she explained.
“Looking at them, they were both: beautiful and sexy and tough but vulnerable and feminine but masculine. And I related to that person more than I related to anyone in my life.”

This experience helped Miley understand both her gender and her s**uality on a deeper level.
“Once I understood my gender more, which was unassigned, then I understood my s**uality more. I was like, ‘Oh — that’s why I don’t feel straight and I don’t feel gay. It’s because I’m not.’”
While her journey brought clarity, it also helped heal relationships within her family.
Miley shared a touching moment with her mother, who struggled to understand her daughter’s identity when she was younger.
Miley recalled how, during her time as a mentor on The Voice, a young contestant credited her for the courage to come out.
“My mom started crying. She was like, ‘I’m so sorry about the way I was when you were that age and coming out.’ She never understood me until she saw that girl who couldn’t be herself. It was very cool.”
Today, Miley proudly identifies as pans**ual, describing her attraction as rooted in emotional connection rather than gender.
Her openness has been met with widespread support from fans, many of whom see her as a trailblazer in advocating for LGBTQ+ visibility and acceptance.
