The Decline of the Pride Flag

News:

On April 9, 2026, Tennessee Governor Bill Lee (R) signed House Joint Resolution 182, officially designating June 2026 as “Nuclear Family Month” in the state. Lee signed House Joint Resolution 182, which passed the House in April 2025 and the Senate last month, on April 9.

It is a departure from the national recognition of June as Pride Month.

Pride flags are still all over California schools and public buildings.
