controversial graduation speech from last month.Butker, 28, made a 20-minute address at the graduation ceremony at Benedictine College in Kansas on May 11 where he railed against working women, Pride Month, abortion and other issues.

But Perry, 39, decided to change Butker’s speech by editing his words that led to swift backlash on social media.In Perry’s new video that she shared to Instagram, Butker congratulated the female graduates on their “amazing accomplishment” and encouraged them to “lead successful careers in the world,” rather than advocate for homemaking which he did in his original speech.“I say all of this to you because I have seen it firsthand, how much happier someone can be supporting women and not saying that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world,” Butker said in the edited speech.“The road ahead is bright, things are changing, society is shifting and people young and old are embracing diversity equity and inclusion.”Perry’s version also featured Butker wishing the graduates a happy Pride Month in his speech.“Fixed this for my girls, my graduates, and my gays — you can do anything, congratulations and happy pride.
