Indiana is Reclaiming June – Let’s Celebrate Nuclear Family Month!

For years, June has been commandeered by the LGBT movement as “Pride Month.” Now, Indiana is reclaiming it to focus on something far more enduring and worthy of celebration: the family.

On Monday, Governor Mike Braun signed a proclamation declaring June 2026 to be Nuclear Family Month in the State of Indiana. IFI is proud to have been a driving force behind making this landmark moment a reality.

Over the past several weeks, we have been working closely with the Governor and Lieutenant Governor’s offices to bring this proclamation to life. It recognizes what we have always believed: that the nuclear family is God’s design for the family structure, the foundation of a healthy society, and the most effective means of raising children into capable adults. It also ties this celebration to a bigger moment. As our nation marks America’s 250th anniversary, strengthening families has never been more important.

Every child deserves a mom and a dad. Research consistently shows that when moms and dads love each other and love their children well, the effects ripple outward in powerful ways, such as reducing rates of mental health struggles, substance abuse, criminal activity, and childhood poverty. Strong families are not just good for children – they are the bedrock of safe, thriving communities. 

While we recognize that no family is perfect, there is a profound difference between families that fall short of perfection and a culture that deliberately denies children a mom or a dad, placing the desires of adults above the needs of children. When we thumb our nose at God’s design for the family, the consequences are not just personal; they are generational, and they touch every corner of society. God’s perfect design for the family simply works, and that’s what we’re celebrating in Indiana this June. We encourage you to join in the celebration with us! Share the proclamation with your friends, family, and church community. Post it on social media. Talk about it. Let’s make sure Hoosiers know that Indiana stands for strong families. This victory is possible because of your continued support of IFI’s work. Thank you for standing with us!
