Bill > HRes1338

This Resolution supports the official designation of June as Family Month in the United States, explicitly intended to counter and replace LGBTQ+ Pride Month—a federally recognized period initially declared by President Bill Clinton in 1999 and subsequently supported by Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community. Proponents of the resolution argue that the traditional nuclear family, defined as a home with a married mother and father, is the foundational building block of a healthy society and that current demographic challenges, such as a falling birth rate below the replacement level and rising rates of crime and drug abuse, stem from the decline of traditional marriage. To address these concerns, the measure officially states that the House of Representatives no longer recognizes Pride Month, seeks to highlight the societal benefits of traditional marriage and family structures, and calls for the nation to rededicate itself to supporting the nuclear family unit during the month of June.
