Mike Braun issued the new proclamation on 1 June – the first day of LGBTQ+ Pride Month, no less – declaring that the month will celebrate the “nuclear family”

“As a father of four and grandfather of seven, I have seen firsthand the impact that loving, committed families can have across multiple generations,” he wrote in an X post with the proclamation attached

“As we approach America’s 250th anniversary, this proclamation recognises the important role families play in shaping the future of our state and our country. Indiana will continue supporting policies that strengthen families and help the next generation thrive”

The document itself says the nuclear family is “consisting of one husband, one wife, and any biological, adopted or fostered children, is God’s design for the family structure and has been the foundation of society since the creation of the world”[…]
Micah Beckwith, a pastor and the lieutenant governor of Indiana, went one step further by sharing an illustrated version of the proclamation on social media, with the title: “Take back the rainbow!”
