Katy Perry Edits Harrison Butker's Controversial Commencement Speech for Pride Month

Katy Perry is weighing in on Harrison Butker's graduation address with an edited version of the speech.

Over the weekend, the "Roar" singer released a response to the Kansas City Chiefs player's controversial commencement speech at Benedictine College in May, in which he took aim at what he called "dangerous gender ideologies," seemingly referencing Pride Month, and attacking "diabolical lies" he claimed have been told to women about finding happiness in careers over their families. In his actual speech, Butker went on to address his wife, Isabelle, who he says has experienced a much more fulfilling life after embracing "one of the most important titles of all: homemaker," telling those in attendance that her "dream of having a career might not have come true" but she was happier for it.
