June is widely recognized as Pride Month, but a handful of Republican governors have bestowed alternative titles that both supporters and opponents view as counterprogramming.

Without directly saying the idea was to replace Pride, the governors of Indiana and Tennessee rebranded June as Nuclear Family Month to celebrate units made up of “one husband, one wife and any biological, adopted or fostered children.”

In Alabama, it’s Strong Families Month, intended to coincide with Father’s Day. Gov. Kay Ivey’s proclamation says fathers are “the head of the household” and “homes led by a father and mother provide children with the structure and discipline necessary to succeed throughout life.”

    You can’t point out their contradictions, they don’t care. Telling her to get back in the kitchen fights their battle for them.

        Sorry, you can point them out all you want, but they don’t give a shit. Holding them to their contradictions just makes them fascist-er.

      No, it doesn’t. What is with this defeatist trend lately? We’ve just decided to no longer challenge what they say?

        Challenge it all you want. Telling them to stay consistent and keep women in their place is fucking stupid.
