Singer Katy Perry posted an edited version of NFL kicker Harrison Butker's viral speech that included criticisms of Joe Biden, pride month, and diversity, equity, and inclusion. Her version was edited to promote gay pride.
The Kansas City Chiefs player delivered an anti-politically correct commencement address to hundreds of graduates at Benedictine College, a small Catholic school, in mid-May 2024.
Perry apparently took issue with particular moments in Butker's speech relating to women and gay pride.
"Fixed this for my girls, my graduates, and my gays — you can do anything, congratulations and happy pride," Perry wrote on Instagram.
