Miley Cyrus in Paper Magazine (Twitter/ @ENews)

Cyrus is no stranger to the community, as she launched the "Happy Hippie Foundation," a charity for homeless and LGBT youth. In Paper Magazine, the 22-year-old confesses that she told her mother at age 14 that she was attracted to women, like she is to men.

"I remember telling her I admire women in a different way. And she asked me what that meant. And I said, I love them. I love them like I love boys," she said. 

As a spokeswoman for a community and generation, Cyrus will surely continue to be be a loud advocate for human rights issues.
