Rep. Miller Introduces Resolution Declaring June ‘Family Month’ Instead of ‘Pride Month’

A resolution in the U.S. House of Representatives declaring June “Family Month” in place of “Pride Month” is being introduced by Rep. Mary Miller, R-IL.

“The breakdown of the family has caused inestimable damage to our country,” Rep. Miller told the Daily Citizen in an exclusive interview. “We need to get back to our biblical Christian roots. We need to support intact families – a husband and wife committed to each other.”

The resolution declares the natural nuclear family is “the foundation of a healthy society.” It also correctly notes married moms and dads “play a crucial and irreplaceable role in the upbringing of their children” and provide “the best environment for children to thrive.”

Furthermore, the resolution details the harms that flow from the breakdown of the nuclear family and opposes “Pride Month displays and events” in June “that denigrate the nuclear family.”

If enacted, the resolution would make it clear the House of Representatives:

1. Recognizes the benefit of marriage and family to men, women, children and society;
2. No longer recognizes Pride Month;
3. Supports the designation of Family Month for the purpose of rededicating our Nation to the importance of this essential unit.

The resolution was introduced in the House for the first time in 2025, where it garnered 21 cosponsors. This year, Rep. Miller is hoping for even more. She expressed confidence the resolution will pass the House and potentially garner bipartisan support.

“Last year I was on an island by myself,” Rep. Miller explained. “This year, we’re seeing governors get on board and issue resolutions for their states.”

Indeed, on April 9, Tennessee Governor Bill Lee signed a joint resolution enacted by the Tennessee Legislature, which sailed with overwhelming majorities, designating June 2026 Nuclear Family Month.

On June 1, Indiana Governor Mike Braun declared it Nuclear Family Month in the Hoosier State too.

“As a father of four and grandfather of seven, I have seen firsthand the impact that loving, committed families can have across multiple generations,” Gov. Braun said. “As we approach America’s 250th anniversary, this proclamation recognizes the important role families play in shaping the future of our state and our country.”

The governors of Alabama, Utah and Arkansas have also recognized June as “Fidelity Month” or “Strong Families Month.”

Rep. Miller explained that since being elected to the House in 2020, her top priority has been to stand up for families.

“From day one, I’ve said the foundation of our country is the family. We need to rebuild the family,” Rep. Miller urged. “Marriage rates have plummeted. Birth rates have plummeted. That’s a real problem we must address.”

Rep. Miller founded the Congressional Family Caucus, a group of House members dedicated to promoting pro-family policies including affordable housing, good taxation policies, eliminating marriage penalties in the tax code, defending women’s sex-segregated spaces and more.

Rep. Miller said she sees Family Month as a unique opportunity for Christians and churches to recommit to defending the nuclear family.

“I’m hoping that it will grow. I’m hoping that churches will think to use June as a time to really promote the family, perhaps by holding marriage seminars, parenting classes or even family celebrations,” Rep. Miller said.

“It’s not hateful to speak the truth. God has defined what is true,” she shared. “We must inspire people to be bold. Quit being passive. Find opportunities to speak truth about the family.”
