Republican governors giving June family-focus observances instead of LGBT Pride recognitions

While June is often associated with LGBT pride, some Republican governors are offering alternative observances focused on traditional family values. 

Indiana Gov. Mike Braun of Indiana declared that June would be Nuclear Family Month. 

"As a father of four and grandfather of seven, I have seen firsthand the impact that loving, committed families can have across multiple generations," the governor said in an announcement, which didn't mention Pride Month or suggest the Nuclear Family observance was in opposition to it. 

Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee signed a measure in April that designated June as Nuclear Family Month. Utah Gov. Spencer Cox declared June would be "Fidelity Month," Deseret News reported, joining Arkansas in the declaration. Utah had previously recognized Pride Month, but last year he said he was taking the month of June to reflect “on the values that bring us together.”

Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee said in a post on X, that "June is Fidelity Month: fidelity to family, fidelity to country, fidelity to God."
