What took so long?

A new bill by House Republicans would officially get rid of “Pride Month.”

Bill Clinton first designated Pride Month during his presidency, and it has been followed by every Democratic President since.

However, Pride Month’s reign will soon end if Republican lawmakers can pass their new bill.

The Cowboy State Daily reported these key details about the bill:

Wyoming U.S. Rep. Harriet Hageman is among the sponsors of a new Republican-backed bill that would change the designation of June from “Pride Month” to “Family Month.”

The measure, introduced last week by Rep. Mary Miller, R-Illinois, would recognize “the traditional nuclear family” and highlight the way “mothers and fathers play a crucial and irreplaceable role in the upbringing of their children.”
The bill also would remove the recognition of an annual federal Pride Month celebrated by the LGBTQ community in June.

Former Democratic President Bill Clinton was the first to proclaim Pride Month officially in 1999. Since, Democratic presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden followed suit, while Republican Presidents George W. Bush and Donald Trump have not.

“Americans are inundated with perverse Pride Month displays and events throughout the month of June that denigrate the nuclear family,” the bill reads. “The decline of marriage and family has corresponded to a rise in crime, drug abuseand other social ills.

“Our survival as a country and civilization depends on the continuation of traditional marriage and family.”
Among those also backing the bill are Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Georgia, Claudia Tenney, R-New York, and Glenn Grothman, R-Wisconsin.

Hageman’s office told Cowboy State Daily in a statement that making June Family Month would undo some of the social damage she says has been caused by liberal politics.

OMG it’s Happening! 🙌

Per CBN:

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.
