Kansas City Chiefs player Harrison Butker faces backlash for graduation speech criticizing working women, calling Pride a ‘deadly sin’ while quoting Taylor Swift

facing backlash after delivering a commencement address that touched on everything from Pride Month to women’s roles in the home, abortion and birth control.

“It is safe to say that over the years, I have gained quite the reputation for speaking my mind,” Harrison Butker said at the start of his address, which he delivered May 11 at Benedictine College, a Catholic liberal arts college in Atchison, Kansas.

Butker, who has sparked controversy in the past for his public stances on religion, LGBTQ topics and abortion, criticized President Joe Biden for his stance as a Catholic who supports abortion rights before turning to speak directly to the women in the graduating class, saying they had been told “the most diabolical lies.”
