Katy Perry is celebrating Pride Month with a little sass.
On Saturday, the pop star marked the first day of a month-long LGBTQ celebration with a video edit of NFL player Harrison Butker's recent graduation speech. The Kansas City Chiefs kicker caused controversy earlier this month with comments targeting the LGBTQ community and “dangerous gender ideology.”
In an edited video shared on Perry's Instagram, Butker's comments are spliced together to make it sound as if he is expressing support for the LGBTQ community.
“The future is bright, things are changing, society is transitioning and people of all ages are embracing diversity, equity and inclusion,” Butker says in the edited video. “Happy Pride Month everyone.”
The “Firework” singer ended his post with a message to his LGBTQ fans.
