Tennessee Governor Bill Lee signed a joint resolution on April 9 designating June 2026 as “Nuclear Family Month” in the state \u2014 a direct and deliberate counterprogramming to the national LGBT “Pride Month” designation that has dominated June for decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The resolution, sponsored by Republican state Representative Bud Hulsey and backed by 15 GOP co-sponsors, passed the Tennessee House 72-18 and cleared the Senate 26-4 before reaching the governor’s desk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It defines the nuclear family as “one husband, one wife, and any biological, adopted, or fostered children,” and describes that family structure as “God’s design for familial structure and the bedrock of society since the creation of the world.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The resolution also takes direct aim at the ideological forces working to undermine the traditional family, stating that Tennessee’s values “do not align with the humanistic, globalist ideologies of the World Health Organization, the United Nations, and like-minded organizations that fight for population control through the means of promoting sterilization and abortion practices.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It cites research linking fatherless households to higher rates of poverty, substance abuse, mental health issues, incarceration, and disproportionate presence among school shooters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
