Miley Cyrus was bombarded with hate mail after gay marriage comments

Miley Cyrus has revealed that she had to delete her Twitter account after she was bombarded with hate mail over her comments supporting gay marriage.

The Hannah Montana star took to her Twitter.com page last year to throw her support behind a campaign for same-sex unions.

However, the star's comments angered some readers and she eventually deleted her Twitter account after receiving a barrage of hate-filled messages.

"That's the reason I deleted my Twitter account because I said on there that I believed in gay marriage because everyone should have the right to love each other, and I got such hate mail about my being a bad person," the Daily Star quoted her as telling Parade magazine.

"There has been so much controversy sometimes about what I've said or done because I believe there are no mistakes because God is the only one who can judge us," she added.
