Miley Cyrus' "badass, feminist anthem" is here! "Mother's Daughter" premiered this morning and features a handful of LGBTQ innovators. 
Along with Cyrus, the video co-stars queer pro-skateboarder Lacey Baker, activist Casil McArthur, and Black, transgender, and disabled model Aaron Philip. Feminist messages like "virginity is a social construct" and "not an object" flash on the screen between blood-red shots. 
Fittingly enough, we even spot Miley's mom, Tish Cyrus, sipping tea while her daughter croons beside her. 
Watch the video for "Mother's Daughter" below!

Rebecca Black is sharing her method for dealing with a busy schedule — gay sex.
The singer has been secretive about her dating life lately. We know she's got a girlfriend, but she hasn't named names. Still, when speaking with People on the red carpet at the VMAs on Sunday, she acknowledged that her relationship was what helped her cope with the grind of being on tour with Katy Perry earlier this year while also performing at festivals in between shows.
