Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee signed a resolution this week designating June as "Nuclear Family Month," explicitly defining the nuclear family as consisting of one man and one woman and their children. The nonbinding proclamation was presented as a celebration of traditional family structures and drew immediate pushback from critics who said it excludes same-sex married couples and relies on conservative Christian language. Supporters framed the move as a defense of what they described as the foundational family unit; opponents called it a symbolic dismissal of LGBTQ+ families during the month that many observe Pride.
