Showing Original Post only (View all)Miley Cyrus, Joan Jett Start Charity Aimed At Homeless LGBT Youth [View all]
From bringing a homeless teen onstage at the MTV Video Music Awards to slamming the Indiana governor over the state's controversial religious freedom law, Miley Cyrus isn't afraid to tackle pressing social issues head on. With that in mind, the Bangerz singer has established the Happy Hippie Foundation, an organization that aims to bring awareness towards issues affecting homeless youth and other vulnerable populations such as the LGBT youth community.
To help raise funds and awareness for her new foundation, Cyrus has teamed with Facebook for the Backyard Sessions, which will find the singer teaming with another artist for a unique performance filmed in Cyrus' own backyard. Joan Jett, Ariana Grande, Against Me!'s Laura Jane Grace and Melanie Safka are among the artists who will collaborate with Cyrus for the sessions. Each video will debut exclusively on Facebook with an option to donate toward the Happy Hippie Foundation.

Just keep your clothes on, girl, we'd like to see your positive public personal, not your privates.

Exactly why you think covering up is somehow not PC? Sorry, her crotch does not interest me at all.
