Tennessee renames Pride month its 'Nuclear Family Month' ,"1 husband, 1 wife, and any biological, adopted, or foster

https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/us-politics/tennessee-pride-nuclear-family-month-b2958328.html


Tennessee will now recognize June as "Nuclear Family Month," a move some critics claim is less about family and more about diminishing the LGBTQ community during Pride Month.

The state’s governor, Bill Lee, signed a resolution on April 9, introducing the new holiday just two days after the state's Republican-controlled legislature advanced it through the statehouse. June is also when Pride Month, which celebrates LGBTQ-identifying individuals, is observed.

The resolution’s language includes a definition of the nuclear family as "one husband, one wife, and any biological, adopted, or fostered children," and claims that it is “God’s design for familial structure” and “God’s perfect design for humanity," according to The Advocate.

It also includes several statistics warning about the problems with "fatherless homes.” It also condemns the “humanistic, globalist ideologies of the World Health Organization, the United Nations, and like-minded organizations that fight for population control.”
