Miley Cyrus auctions Caitlyn Jenner artwork to raise $69,000 for HIV research

Miley Cyrus has auctioned off her artwork of Caitlyn Jenner to raise money for HIV and Aids research.

Cyrus has been putting in serious work of late, launching a foundation for disadvantaged LGBT youth and collaborating with Instagram for a portrait series of transgender people.

At amfAR’s sixth annual Inspiration Gala, she arrived with an agender date (below), and auctioned off her artwork, raising $69,000. She was also honoured at the gala for her work towards the LGBT community. amFAR is trying to raise $100 million by 2020 in order to fund innovative HIV and Aids research.

Meet Tyler (@tywrent), a 24 year old living in New York City, and my date for @amfar tonight!!! Tyler is a queer, biracial, agender person, whose pronouns are they/them/theirs. Tyler shares about their identity, experiences and hopes saying: “My whole life, I was led to believe that there were only two genders. I thought I had to shrink myself to fit into a box that was never going to contain me. It took years for me to find words for my gender identity, and to feel comfortable expressing myself as I am.” #happyhippiepresents #instapride @happyhippiefdn @instagram
