Miley Cyrus was honored Tuesday night in New York at amfAR's sixth annual Inspiration Gala, which she attended with her date, Tyler Ford, who identifies as agender.

The 22-year-old pop star took time before the event to introduce her Instagram followers to Ford, who is a photographer, poet and former "Glee Project" contestant, according to the Associated Press. 

"Tyler is a queer, biracial, agender person, whose pronouns are they/them/theirs," Cyrus wrote.

Along with Cyrus, late night Bravo host Andy Cohen also received the award for his work in fighting AIDS. AmfAR is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the support of AIDS research and HIV prevention and education.

 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.”

Cyrus is an activist for the LGBTQ community and recently started her own charity, "The Happy Hippie Foundation," which vows to help homeless LGBTQ youth. The ex-Disney star recently opened up about her own sexual identity, saying that she has had romantic relations with both men and women in the past.

Cyrus helped raise $69,000 at the event's auction after selling her personal art work using Caitlyn Jenner's "Vanity Fair" cover. The money will go to AIDS research.
