Tennessee Designates June as Nuclear Family Month Instead of "Pride Month"

The tides are changing…

It’s June 1st, and that means it is now the first-ever Nuclear Family month in the state of Tennessee!

Instead of celebrating LGBTQ “Pride” month, Tennessee has passed a resolution to officially designate June as a month to celebrate the nuclear family — meaning, one husband, one wife, and their children, as God intended.

Take a look:

Tennessee Governor Bill Lee (R) signed a resolution declaring June as "Nuclear Family Month" instead of Pride month.

LFG, no more LGBTQ insanity!

“WHEREAS, the nuclear family, consisting of one husband, one wife, and any biological, adopted, or fostered children, is God’s design for familial structure and has been the bedrock of society since the creation of the world…”

“…BE IT RESOLVED…we join with the citizens of Tennessee in designating the month of June 2025 as ‘Nuclear Family Month’ and commend the noble endeavors of those who seek to protect and strengthen the traditional values of our State and country.”

Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee signed the resolution designating June as “Nuclear Family month” back in April.

Memphis Commercial Appeal reported further on the details:

In the past, June 1st has marked the beginning of Pride Month for millions of people across the United States, but this year in Tennessee, June has a new designation.

On April 9, Tennessee officially designated June as “Nuclear Family Month” after Gov. Bill Lee signed a House joint resolution, initially proposed by Rep. Bud Hulsey, R-Kingsport.

Hulsey’s resolution does not reference the LGBTQ+ community; however, its wording effectively excludes same-sex married couples while emphasizing conservative Christian values as the basis for designating June as Nuclear Family Month.

“The nuclear family, consisting of one husband, one wife, and any biological, adopted, or fostered children, is God’s design for familial structure and has been the bedrock of society since the creation of the world,” the resolution states. “The nuclear family is God’s perfect design for humanity and is aligned with the long-held traditional values of Tennessee.”

While Pride Month is not federally recognized as a holiday, its events and celebrations are traditionally held in June.

Conservative activist Riley Gaines, who lives in Tennessee, is celebrating with her family:

In Tennessee, we recognize June as Nuclear Family Month.

What a great way to start moving our country forward from all the LGBTQ “pride” nonsense!

A return to traditional family values is long-overdue. You love to see it.

Already, we are starting to see other red states follow in Tennessee’s footsteps and take similar measures.

In fact, Indiana just proclaimed June as Nuclear Family Month, as well.

Check out what Gov. Mike Braun had to say:
