Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee<\/a> has signed a resolution declaring June Nuclear Family Month as an alternative to the usual LGBTQ+ Pride Month.<\/p>\n

Lee, a Republican, signed House Joint Resolution 182 April 9 after it passed the House in April 2025 and the Senate last month.<\/p>\n

The legislation highlights the importance of celebrating the traditional family unit<\/a>, described as “consisting of one husband, one wife, and any biological, adopted, or fostered children.”<\/p>\n

“The nuclear family is under attack in our beloved State and nation, and it is our responsibility to uplift, protect, and support values that help Tennessee prosper,” the resolution adds.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for the governor did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.<\/p>\n

LGBTQ+ advocacy groups have begun to speak out against the resolution, and a representative for GLAAD gave Fox News Digital its opinion on the bill.<\/p>\n

“The strongest families are grounded in love, not legislative definitions. It is disturbing to see lawmakers use their platform to intentionally exclude their own constituents,” the organization wrote in a statement.<\/p>\n

“Instead of drafting resolutions that aim to divide Tennessee families, Gov. Lee should be focused on building a state where every family is treated fairly, and every child has the opportunity to succeed.”<\/p>\n

The news of the legislation comes a few days after the pride flag at Stonewall National Monument\u2019s<\/a> federal flagpole in New York City, a well-known symbol for the LGBTQ+ community, was restored after a two-month legal battle and settlement with the Trump administration.<\/p>\n

“This is a victory for the LGBTQ+ community and for our entire city,” Mayor Zohran Mamdani<\/a> wrote in an X post Monday. “It\u2019s a reminder that New Yorkers won\u2019t let our history be rewritten.<\/p>\n

“Our administration will keep working to ensure LGBTQ+ New Yorkers can live safely and with dignity in our city.”<\/p>\n
