On Saturday, the popstar marked the first day of the monthlong LGBTQ celebration with an edited video of a recent commencement speech given by NFL player Harrison Butker. The Kansas City Chiefs kicker drew controversy earlier this month for his remarks, some of which took aim at the LGBTQ community and "dangerous gender ideologies."
The revised clip, shared to Perry's Instagram, splices Butker's comments to sound like he was showing support for the LGBTQ community.
"The road ahead is bright, things are changing, society is shifting and people young and old are embracing diversity, equity and inclusion," Butker says in the edited video. "With that said, I want to say happy Pride Month to all of you."
The "Firework" singer concluded the post with a message for her LGBTQ fans.
