While a controversial commencement address given by Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker continues to draw criticism from his targets and their allies, the three-time Super Bowl champion picked up support from one surprising source on Thursday: The View co-host Whoopi Goldberg. Last weekend, Butker insulted the LGBTQ+ community, working women, and his own church’s leadership in the speech at Catholic Benedictine College in Kansas, as he called for a return to religious patriarchy that rejects gay Pride and demands women “accept your lane and stay in it.” Related NFL player rants about Pride Month celebrating “deadly sins” in graduation speech as audience groans The Kansas City Chiefs kicker and Super Bowl champ used the speech to advocate for Christian Nationalist beliefs. “Degenerate cultural values,” “the tyranny of diversity, equity, and inclusion,” and “dangerous gender ideologies” were among the topics of Butker’s Christian nationalist screed.

Mary Trump, the lesbian niece of former President Donald Trump, has noticed something weird about his family’s support during his hush money trial — it’s nonexistent. Mary Trump noted that the ex-president’s younger son, Eric Trump, has shown up several times in the New York City court to support his father, but Donald Trump’s other children, including Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump, and his wife, Melania Trump, have been nowhere near him. Related Donald Trump’s niece shares the 1 word that makes her believe Stormy Daniels is telling the truth Mary Trump said that Stormy Daniels’s testimony must have been “incredibly humiliating” for her uncle, who was cursing her out in the courtroom. “Maybe Eric drew the short straw because it doesn’t really make sense that it’s just him and not both [him and Trump Jr.] or vice versa,” Mary Trump said in a recent MSNBC livestream .

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) agreed with a guest on his podcast that shopping at Target is not “honoring God” and that he wouldn’t want to be “in Target when the Rapture comes” last year, echoing conservative backlash to the retailer’s Pride Month displays from last year. Even though Target had been selling Pride gear for years, last year, the store came under criticism from the far-right for selling items like T-shirts and onesies with rainbows on them to people who want to purchase such products during Pride Month. Conservative influencers went to Target to record themselves being disgusted at the idea of Pride and claiming that there was something inappropriate about children seeing the displays.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has filed a complaint against a Mississippi public school for alleged discrimination against transgender and gender non-conforming cisgender girls in its school dress code. The civil rights organization filed its complaint with the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) on Wednesday, alleging that Harrison County School District violates Title IX, a law that bans sex-based discrimination in schools that is commonly cited in legal action protecting transgender rights. The ACLU complaint was filed on behalf of a mother and her 16-year-old transgender daughter, known in the complaint as simply “A.H.” The girl has been prohibited from wearing any feminine clothing and has been threatened with exclusion from school events if she didn’t comply with their policies. McKenna Raney-Gray, LGBTQ Justice Project staff attorney at the ACLU of Mississippi, said in an ACLU press release, “A.H.’s story is emblematic of other girls at Harri
