States Rewriting Pride Month

Republican governors across several states are rebranding June as “Nuclear Family Month” or “Strong Families Month,” replacing Pride Month with language that promotes a traditional family structure—often defined as one husband, one wife, and children—sometimes even invoking “God’s design.” Tennessee, Indiana, Alabama, Nebraska, Arkansas, and Utah are leading this push, with some officials explicitly excluding LGBTQ+ families while others, like Tennessee Rep. Andy Ogles, went as far as posting “Homosexuality has no place in America. Happy Nuclear Family Month” before deleting it. The idea, reportedly originating from a conservative Christian legal scholar, also includes “Fidelity Month” in Arkansas and Utah, framing loyalty to faith, family, and country without explicitly naming family types—but still steering clear of LGBTQ+ visibility. While these governors say their declarations aren’t meant to erase Pride, critics see them as a deliberate effort to push a narrow family narrative during a month meant for celebrating LGBTQ+ history, culture, and visibility.
