GLAAD President Slams Harrison Butker’s Homophobic, Misogynistic Remarks As ‘Inaccurate, Ill-Informed’


GLAAD President Sarah Kate Ellis slammed Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker's homophobic comments in a statement Wednesday (May 15).

After Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker made a series of misogynistic, homophobic and transphobic remarks while quoting Taylor Swift during his commencement address at Benedictine College on Saturday (May 11), GLAAD president Sarah Kate Ellis decided to set the record straight. In a statement Wednesday (May 15) reacting to Butker’s speech — in which the footballer urged graduating women to become housewives and said Pride Month represented “deadly sins,” among other things — Ellis called out the kicker for his remarks. “Kansas City Chiefs player Harrison Butker’s commencement speech was not only a clear miss, it was inaccurate, ill-informed, and woefully out of step with Americans about Pride, LGBTQ people and women.”
