Tennessee Ditches ‘Pride’ Month for ‘Nuclear Family Month’
On April 9, 2026, Tennessee Governor Bill Lee (R) signed House Joint Resolution 182, officially designating June 2026 as “Nuclear Family Month” in the state. Lee signed House Joint Resolution 182, which passed the House in April 2025 and the Senate last month, on April 9.
It is a departure from the national recognition of June as Pride Month.
The legislation highlights the importance of celebrating the traditional family unit, described as “consisting of one husband, one wife, and any biological, adopted, or fostered children.”
“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.
The pushback against Pride displays is taking place across the country.
The woke Mayor of Boise, Idaho, Lauren McLean (D), was finally forced to remove the rainbow LGBT “pride” flag from its City Hall following implementation of a new flag law.
Multiple states, including Florida, Texas, and Alabama, have passed or proposed restrictions on Pride events in public schools, government buildings, or taxpayer-funded spaces.
In 2023, Target began removing some LGBTQ+ merchandise from its Pride Month collection amid nationwide backlash.
Cracker Barrel removed its Pride page, which listed the Nashville Pride Parade it sponsored. The page’s website link now redirects to Cracker Barrel’s “Culture and Belonging” site.
In 2025, Anheuser-Busch, the brewing company known for brands like Bud Light and Budweiser, ended its sponsorship of San Francisco Pride following the beer giant’s loss of over $27 billion in market value in 2023 after partnering with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney and becoming the target of a conservative boycott.
The woke crowd is not staying quiet, however.
After a large Pride flag was taken down from the federal monument in Greenwich Village that honors the 1969 Stonewall riots, an event widely recognized as the birthplace of the modern LGBTQ civil-rights movement, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer signaled efforts to introduce radical legislation that would effectively federalize the Pride Flag.
Schumer, joined by Rep. Dan Goldman in the House, says he will introduce a bill to make the Pride flag a congressionally authorized national symbol that cannot be removed from federal monuments or properties.
Under the draft language reported in local outlets, the legislation would designate the rainbow banner as protected under federal flag law, giving it the same status as other flags sanctioned by Congress.
