LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Miley Cyrus has taken a rather permanent stand in favor of gay marriage, by inking an equal sign onto her finger.

"ALL LOVE is equal," Miley Tweeted on Friday, along with a picture of her new tattoo.

The bold statement from the 18-year-old former Disney darling quickly caused a flurry of fan responses (not all of which were favorable), prompting Miley to fire back.

"Where does it say in the bible to judge others?" she Tweeted to one of her followers. "Oh right. It doesn't. GOD is the only judge honey. 'GOD is love.'"

This is not the first time the "Party in the USA" singer has voiced her support for LGBT rights.

After Casey Anthony was found not guilty on murder charges, Miley Tweeted, "You know the world is skewed when people get away with murdering children but we cant get gay marriage legalized in the state of California."

The new tattoo joins Miley's various other body art, including a heart on her little finger, anchor on her wrist, dreamcatcher on her ribcage, and the words "Just Breathe" on the left side of her chest (in honor of a friend who died of cystic fibrosis).
