Miley Cyrus slams Indiana Governor over 'Religious Freedom' bill

Miley Cyrus has slammed Indiana Governor Mike Pence over his controversial anti-gay “religious freedom” bill.

The bill, which has caused numerous American companies to announce today that they are cutting ties with the the state, allows businesses across Indiana to deny service to gay and lesbian customers based on religious beliefs.

Never one to shy away from controversy, the Party In The USA singer took to her Instagram account yesterday (March 26) to encourage her straight followers to stand up for LGBT rights and – in true Miley style – to label the state governor an “asshole”.

You’re an asshole @govpenceIN ✌️-1 cc: the only place that has more idiots that Instagram is in politics @braisoncwukong thank you for standing up for what is right! We need more strong heterosexual men fighting for equality in both men and women! Why are the macho afraid to love muchoooo?!?

In a written statement released when signing the bill, Governor Pence explained that he signed the bill because he “supports the freedom of religion for every Hoosier of every faith” – find out more here.
