You cannot truly say that it is either. Vertical and horizonal are relative terms. The Milky Way floats ins space, where there is not defined up or down, and therfore no horizontal or vertical.

"Tilted", compared to what? While it is true that the Earth's axis of rotation is tilted at about 60 degrees when compared to the plane of the Milky Way galaxy, this isn't a factor that we normally consider. The Earth's axial tilt of 23.5 degrees compared to the ecliptic is more important.
