Tennessee Governor Bill Lee (R) signed a bill earlier this month recognizing June as “Nuclear Family Month.”
The bill, introduced in 2025, was signed on April 9. While it originally aimed to designate June 2025 as “Nuclear Family Month,” an amendment to the bill updates the legislation to recognize June 2026 as such.
According to the legislation, the nuclear family, “consisting of one husband, one wife, and any biological, adopted, or fostered children, is God’s design for familial structure and has been the bedrock of society since the creation of the world” was the “basic building block of Tennessee’s society throughout her formative years” and “built the United States of America and created prosperity within our nation.”

The legislation further declares that Tennessee does not align with the “humanistic, globalist ideologies of the World Health Organization, the United Nations, and like-minded organizations that fight for population control through the means of promoting sterilization and abortion practices,” but instead values “God’s perfect design for humanity.” It continues to state that the nuclear family is “under attack in our beloved State and nation, and it is our responsibility to uplift, protect, and support values that help Tennessee prosper.”
Lee backed a similar effort in 2024, when he issued a proclamation calling for 31 days of prayer and fasting. The resolution recognized that God is the Creator and has the “authority to judge and bless” the state and country. “[W]e, as public servants in the Tennessee General Assembly, seek God’s Mercy upon our land and beseech Him to not withdraw His Hand of blessing from us,” the resolution added.
