A Tennessee student drafted a resolution designating June as Nuclear Family Month that passed the state legislature this year. Lakie Derrick, 24, said she was inspired by coverage of an Italian event three years ago while preparing to graduate from East Tennessee State University.
She and another leader of a local Turning Point USA chapter wrote a proclamation honoring families consisting of one husband, one wife, and any biological, adopted, or fostered children. They gave the text to state Rep. Bud Hulsey. The resolution passed this year.
Utah proclaimed Fidelity Month.
Alabama declared Strong Families Month. Indiana issued its own Nuclear Family Month proclamation. These actions occurred in states that do not recognize LGBTQ Pride observances in June.
Gallup reported that 35 percent of Republicans viewed gay or lesbian relations as morally acceptable, down 21 points from 2022. President Donald Trump endorsed an LGBT Pride Month declaration in 2019 but has not done so again. The White House issued Title IX Month proclamations stating that participation rules in women's sports and private spaces are based on biological sex.
