The White House has officially declared that June will no longer be LGBT-Pride Month. This comes as GOP leaders in Congress head in the same direction and more companies back away from pushing rainbow flags and other LGBT-themed items in retail stores.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters Tuesday the White House has “no plans” to issue a proclamation recognizing June as Pride Month.
“There are no plans for a proclamation for the month of June,” Leavitt said, “but I can tell you this president is very proud to be a president for all Americans, regardless of race, religion, or creed.”
Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of Education published a new report Monday declaring that June will now be recognized as “Title IX” Month, in honor of the 53rd anniversary of Title IX of the Educational Amendments (1972) being signed into law.
“June will now be dedicated to commemorating women and celebrating their struggle for, and achievement of, equal educational opportunity. Throughout the month, the Department will highlight actions taken to reverse the Biden Administration’s legacy of undermining Title IX and announce additional actions to protect women in line with the true purpose of Title IX,” the declaration reads.
GOP lawmakers have plans to go a step further, announcing a resolution that will declare June as “Family Month,” the Daily Wire first reported.
Congresswoman Mary Miller (R-IL) introduced the resolution that points out the foundational importance of the nuclear family in building a strong nation while at the same time condemning Pride Month as “perverse” celebrations that “denigrate the nuclear family.”
