June is widely referred to as Pride Month, a narrative heavily pushed by progressives and the Biden administration. But this year, June feels different. Conservatives have and are actively taking a stand against it. Earlier this month, Rep. Mary Miller, R-Ill., declared June “Nuclear Family Month” to “rededicat[e] our Nation to the importance of this essential unit.” Officials in Tennessee, Texas, and Alabama followed suit. Unlike former Presidents Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden, the Trump administration has issued no official declaration on behalf of the LGBTQ+ community. The change could be felt in the Nation’s Capital itself. The Washington, D.C., Pride parade took to the streets of a downtown neighborhood on Saturday. Though some local officials, including Mayor Muriel Bowser, came to support the parade, there were no former presidents or members of Congress or senior officials. A stark difference from other progressive events like the “No Kings” protests, where thousands flock to the capital, led by progressives like Democrat Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders of New York.

Resist. Have the Audacity!” Without a Democrat in the White House, the LGBTQ+ movement seems to lack a leader, and June feels a little less prideful than years before. Conservatives Mark June with Competing Celebrations and Policy Wins Meanwhile, June is full of conservative wins to celebrate, including another event taking place just down the street from the Pride parade in front of the U.S. Capitol building. Kristan Hawkins, president of Students for Life of America, hosted a National Celebrate Life Day prayer vigil, honoring the fourth anniversary of the reversal of the groundbreaking abortion case Roe v. Wade. “The same God who reversed Roe is still at work today. We believe the day will come when every child is protected and America is pro-life once again,” Students for Life wrote in a social media post. Today, we celebrated the 4th anniversary of Roe’s reversal and prayed for a pro-life America at our National Celebrate Life Day Prayer Vigil in Washington, D.C.As our nation approaches its 250th birthday, we continue fighting for every American’s right to be born.

This being the original weekend for the DC Pride event, the LGBTQ+ group chose to reschedule. The Trump Department of Education also officially recognizes June as “Title IX Month,” celebrating the landmark women’s sports ruling issued in June 1972. Title IX prohibits sex-based discrimination in educational programs that receive federal funding. This case has been used to push back against the LGBTQ+ movement filtering into schoolchildren’s education and opportunities. Young Conservatives Say Pride Month Is Losing Cultural Ground Earlier in the month, the Daily Signal traveled to San Antonio, Texas, to the Turning Point Women’s Leadership Summit. There, we asked attendees what they thought about Pride Month. Pride Month on the Street: What Conservatives Really ThinkPride Month… or “Nuclear Family Month”? We asked people where they stand on the culture debate—and their answers didn’t hold back.@virginiagmck @TPUSA pic.twitter.com/9dSc8ZBVDo— The Daily Signal (@DailySignal) June 8, 2026 “I don’t really think about it,” one attendee said. “I try not to think about it, and thankfully I think more companies are getting the picture that it’s not widely supported. It was forced down our throats. I think it’s disappointing. I think America was based on Christian values and morality and truth, so it’s disappointing to see that people are rejecting that.” “I don’t like how the first thing people tell me about themselves [is] their sexuality. I don’t think that’s the most important thing about you. I think you’re a person,” a student said. “I think that it’s great to just stand on our American principles, our biblical values, and our freedoms, and that’s what we should really stand for as Americans every month,” said another.
