Pride month is in full swing, and like clockwork, conservatives are trying their best to ruin it.
For most well-adjusted adults who aren’t part of the LGBTQ+ community, June is just a regular month where they might see rainbow displays at stores and perhaps a party flier on social media.
But for Republican lawmakers, it’s apparently triggering enough for them to try and concoct new holidays so they can cope with the fact that queer people still exist.
The governors of Indiana and Tennessee have been trying to declare June a “Nuclear Family Month,” which specifically celebrates families with “one husband, one wife, and any biological, adopted or fostered children,” NBC reports.
GOP Rep.
Andy Ogles said the quiet part out loud in a since-deleted post on X where he wrote, “homosexuality has no place in America… Happy Nuclear Family Month.”
Alabama Gov.
Kay Ivey wants June to be “Strong Families Month” — we can safely assume that a strong family, to her, does not include your super gay aunt Bertie or anyone’s trans child.
In Utah and Arkansas, it’s “Fidelity Month,” which has to be the least sexy way to describe being happily committed to someone.
Clearly, there’s a concerted effort by these lawmakers to erase Pride month and focus instead on celebrating things that are definitely not uplifted every other day of the year, like staying in heterosexual marriages forever and having biological children that stay in their gender lane.
It’s kind of ironic because Ivey has been married twice, but that’s none of our business.
In all seriousness, these lawmakers’ attempts to snuff out Pride month and strip it of its historical context are deeply concerning.
Pride wasn’t just a holiday declared randomly by liberals or fabricated by the body glitter industry.
It is the result of the Stonewall Riots of 1969, which set the modern gay and trans rights movement into motion, and the commemoration of an ongoing struggle.
Being gay in the U.S., after all, was only just officially decriminalized in 2003.
I would argue that Pride is more essential now than ever, considering that for some reason, erasing trans people has become one of the main objectives of the Republican Party.
Pride celebrations are severely underfunded and being canceled in many places around the country.
Earlier this month, for example, Phoenix Pride announced plans to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
These allegedly wholesome holidays that lawmakers want to shove into June are ahistorical and ill-intentioned.
We live in a country where finding affirming spaces for queer and trans people is already hard enough as it is, and where support for gay marriage is actually dipping.
Although the declaration of these “holidays” during Pride month might seem like just another annoying thing that conservatives are doing to get on our nerves, it’s actually a violent move to delegitimize our existence and identities without saying it explicitly.
At this point, it really <em>is</em> that deep.
