Harrison Butker is getting cancelled due to him expressing his religious beliefs during a commencement speech. What are your thoughts on this
Kansas City Chiefs star kicker Harrison Butker’s now-viral Benedictine College commencement speech has ignited both furor and excitement, with detractors and supporters igniting social media.These dehumanizing remarks against LGBTQ+ individuals, attacks on abortion rights, and racial discrimination perpetuate division and undermine human rights.”
The petition, which has garnered over 176,000 signatures thus far, went on to claim Butker’s comments have reinforced “harmful stereotypes that threaten social progress,” and “create a toxic environment that hinders our collective efforts towards equality, diversity and inclusion in society.” Butker held little back Saturday when he delivered the commencement address at the center of so much consternation.
Butker accused President Joe Biden of vocally supporting the “murder” of the unborn, and also lamented “dangerous gender ideologies,” among other issues. He also highlighted the disparity he sees between Biden’s stated Catholic faith and his pro-choice proclivities.
“Bad policies and poor leadership have negatively impacted major life issues,” Butker said. “Things like abortion, IVF, surrogacy, euthanasia, as well as a growing support for degenerate cultural values in media all stem from the pervasiveness of disorder.”
