Katy Perry welcomed Pride Month by editing Harrison Butker’s speech at the graduation ceremony on Saturday, June 1st. «I fixed this for my girls, my graduates, and my gays — you can do it all, congratulations and happy Pride Month», - the 39-year-old singer captioned the post on Instagram.
The original speech, delivered by Kansas City Chiefs athlete, discussed the LGBT community, abortion, IVF, and even discussed the title of a woman as a «homemaker». During his controversial speech, he said: «For the ladies present today, congratulations on your amazing achievement… I want to address you directly because I believe you, women, have faced the most diabolical lies… How many of you are sitting here now, ready to cross this stage, and thinking about all the promotions and titles you will get in your career? Some of you may become successful in the world, but I would dare to assume that most of you are most happy about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world».
The «California Girls» singer decided to change his words to enlighten the month, editing Harrison’s words as follows: «For the ladies present today, congratulations on your amazing achievement. You should be proud of everything you have achieved at this stage in your young life. How many of you are sitting here, ready to cross this stage, and thinking about all the promotions and titles you will get in your career? I would dare to assume that the women here today will become successful in the world. I tell you all this because I have seen firsthand how much happier a person can be supporting women, not to mention that most of you are most happy about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world. Ahead of you is a bright future, everything is changing. Society is changing, and people young and old are embracing diversity, equality, and inclusion. With this, I want to congratulate all of you on Pride Month and congratulate the class of 2024».
In addition to the singer’s response to the speech, many of his colleagues in the industry also spoke out. NFL Vice President Jonathan Bin released a statement: «Harrison Butker spoke in his personal capacity. His views are not the views of the NFL as an organization… The NFL firmly stands by our commitment to inclusion, which makes our league stronger».
In addition to comments, former Kansas City commissioner Justis Horn wrote: «Harrison Butker does not represent Kansas City and never has. Kansas City has always been a place that welcomes, affirms, and accepts our LGBTQ+ community members»
