Pop singer Miley Cyrus has opened up about her marriage to Australian actor Liam Hemsworth, reiterating that their opposite-sex relationship doesn't make her less queer.
Speaking to , Cyrus said: “What I preach is: People fall in love with people, not gender, not looks, not whatever. What I’m in love with exists on almost a spiritual level.
“It has nothing to do with sexuality,” she continued. “Relationships and partnerships in a new generation—I don’t think they have so much to do with sexuality or gender."
Cyrus, who has previously come out as both , said that her longtime partnership with Hemsworth has very little to do with gender.
“Sex is actually a small part, and gender is a very small, almost irrelevant part of relationships,” she said.
“Like, who gives a f**k if he’s a guy, if I’m a girl, or if he was a woman - who gives a f**k? We really are stronger together. One is the loneliest number.”
The star, who got married in a private ceremony earlier this year, added: “Being someone who takes such pride in individuality and freedom, and being a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, I’ve been inspired by redefining again what a relationship in this generation looks like.
“Sexuality and gender identity are completely separate from partnership."
