Butker’s graduation address at Benedictine College sparked significant debate following accusations of sexism. He encouraged female graduates to embrace being “homemakers” and criticized both the LGBTQ community and President Biden’s abortion stance.
In his speech, Butker stated, “Issues like abortion, IVF, surrogacy, euthanasia, as well as a rising support for degenerate cultural values and media can all be traced back to the increments of disorder.”
Butker later defended his statements, noting that he has become a “more polarizing” figure as he has been more vocal about his beliefs, yet he remains indifferent to public opinion.
“Our devotion to Jesus, and thus, our motivation to speak out, should never falter due to our desire to be accepted by the world. Our aim should be to glorify God, not ourselves, regardless of the responses we face.”
