- As June kicks off Pride celebrations, Tennessee designates it ‘nuclear family month’
Tennessee Republicans designated June as 'Nuclear Family Month' through a resolution signed by Gov. Bill Lee, defining the nuclear family as 'one husband, one wife and any biological, adopted or fostered children.' The resolution, criticized as symbolic endorsement of a specific family structure, contrasts with LGBTQ+ Pride Month celebrations. Opponents, including Tennessee Equality Project and Rep. Gabby Salinas, argue it marginalizes diverse family types.
