GOP congresswoman files resolution to declare June ‘Family Month’ instead of ‘Pride Month’
Catholic Vote ^ | June 3, 2025 | Hannah Hiester

Congresswoman Mary Miller, R-Ill., filed a resolution June 3 in the House of Representatives to declare June “Family Month” instead of “Pride Month.”

According to the resolution as shared on X, the measure recognizes the role of the nuclear family as the foundation of society and highlights that children thrive in a home with married parents, a mother and a father.

The resolution also points out the importance of marriage and family in light of extremely high divorce rates and the fact that many young people choose not to get married at all, while those that do are often penalized by tax and welfare policies. The birth rate in the US has also fallen below the replacement level needed for a sustainable population and economy, the resolution adds.

Additionally, the measure condemns displays of “Pride” as “perverse” celebrations that “denigrate the nuclear family” and names former Presidents Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden as key figures in promoting “Pride Month.”

In a June 3 op-ed published by the Washington Examiner, Miller expanded on her hopes to “reclaim June for the family.”

“The family is the bedrock of human civilization. It is the first institution created by God and the cornerstone upon which thriving societies are built. Strong families raise strong children, who grow into responsible citizens, courageous leaders, and the hard-working patriots our nation depends upon. Without strong families, America simply cannot survive,” she wrote.

She added that instituting “Family Month” would return the family to its place as the shaper of American culture, rather than contribute to the “national crisis” that “Pride” has created.

“America is currently at a crossroads,” she continued. “We can either continue down a path of cultural decay or we can return to the timeless truths that have always sustained us. If we want to preserve our nation for future generations, we must reject pride and rebuild the family.

“Let us make June a month that honors truth, celebrates parenthood, uplifts marriage, and raises up children who love God and America, because they are the future, and they are worth fighting for.”

CatholicVote Vice President Josh Mercer supported Miller’s resolution with a statement, saying, “If we want to make America great again, we have to make families great again.”

“That means we need to fight against pornography and abortion and divorce. But we must always remember to remind people of what what it is that we strongly support,” he continued. “As Catholics, we know that the lifelong commitment of a man and a woman is the key to human flourishing. That’s why marriage pre-dates the formation of government itself. We strongly support this resolution to recognize June as Family Month.”

According to The Daily Wire, several parental rights organizations, including Moms for America, the American Family Project, the Family Research Council, and others, support Miller’s resolution. The measure is co-sponsored by eight other Republican representatives.

As one of our priests said during a sermon at Mass soon after Trump was elected, now is our opportunity to promote family friendly laws and policies and form and influence pro-life and Christian values while the spirit of the country has noticeably shifted—for now. The Dems are playing defense right now. We can’t allow this window of opportunity to pass since we don’t know how long it will last. We need intensify our prayer and at the same time to strike while the iron is hot.

Hey, how about we just call it “June”? I’m about sick of all this shit. Black history month, pride month, ——— I really think Congress could find something more important to work on, like saving this country from bankruptcy.

I think it would be more beneficial if they get rid of all the feel good, tickling ears months, slogans, etc congress spends time on and instead educate the public on their duties and powers as Citizens. The govt used to be run primarily by men. It wouldnt matter if men women or 20 yr olds if they were fully taught to follow the Constitution and Founders plans and intentions instead of twisting and swaying to whims of others or bribes etc.

Churches need to step up and do their job and educate on families, etc. But most churches do the bidding of perverted Govt agenda to keep their tax free status.

That’s cool and all, but how about cutting Medicaid and welfare by 2/3?

Then doing all the dodge cuts.

After that, plenty of time for symbolic crap that doesn’t advance the ball.

Pride month never made any sense. To have a “Pride Month”, you first need to pick something that is worth being proud of, & they have yet to do that properly. We already do have some Pride months for things that are worthy of the name.

A family is a husband and wife. Years ago, our state tried to pass a pro-family statement but it was stopped because it didn’t include single women and their kids. Now it would be stopped if it didn’t include homos.
IMO the lefts redefinition of a family has hit critical mass. I hope I’m wrong.
