Pop star Katy Perry released an edited, pro-gay version on Sunday of Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker's viral commencement address at Benedictine College last month.

"Fixed this for my girls, my graduates, and my gays — you can do anything, congratulations and happy pride," Perry wrote in an Instagram post that cut up Butker's remarks to make him say things such as "Happy Pride Month."

Perry's version of Butker's speech removed the portions of his remarks that emphasized the importance of motherhood and family for many women, which stoked a firestorm of backlash from many who accused him of misogyny for his traditional Catholic worldview.

Glad I do not listen to pop music. I prefer smaller indie artists, softer classic rock from the 1960s-1980s and electronic dance music. :)

I think his tone doesn't reflect well on his religious faith. It is uncharitable. You can be thankful for your religious values, spouse and children without trying to condemn other peoples mode of life. He isn't seeking respectful dialogue, more like crusading. It was particularly ugly and pharisaical to criticize President Biden's expression of Catholicism.
