As lewd parades and corporate campaigns push the predictable LGBT agenda this June, a movement is growing to celebrate June under a different name: Fidelity Month.
The month in question calls for renewed faithfulness in a few key areas, namely “recommitment to God, our spouses and families, our communities, and country.”
Dr. Robert P. George, a Princeton University professor who is helping lead the Fidelity Month effort, hosted an event on Capitol Hill Monday. George said support has grown from a few hundred to hundreds of thousands since the movement began in 2023. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson, Family Research Council President Tony Perkins, and others spoke at the event about the importance of fidelity. Perkins pointed to “a crisis of identity, a crisis of truth.”
“And the answer to that crisis is not to redesign humanity,” he said. “It’s to return to fidelity to God’s design.”
Perkins made the case for fidelity to God’s design, particularly when it comes to acknowledging God as Creator and the author of life as well as his design for marriage and the family.
“Before there was a church, before there was a nation, there was family,” he said. “God didn’t subcontract the formation of society to government or academia. He started with a husband and a wife.”
In addition, Perkins called for fidelity to religious freedom, a founding principle for our nation, as well as faithfulness to our biblical call to stand with Israel.
“From the beginning, God created us with moral agency,” he emphasized. “Adam and Eve were not robots; they were free to obey or disobey. That freedom is essential to our faith, because coerced worship is no worship at all.”
Perkins further stated that Israel is not perfect, but God has maintained his covenant with them.
“Christians have long understood that standing with Israel is not merely geopolitical — it’s biblical,” Perkins said. “And today, as Israel faces existential threats, the church, followers of Christ, must be unshakable in its support, not because Israel is perfect, but because God’s promise is.”
Carson told a story of the pressure he faced to abandon his fidelity to God once President Donald Trump brought him into the cabinet. He said he was approached by someone who told him to stop talking about God and to focus on other things.
Carson said he told them to “go jump in the lake.”
At the same event, Hawley pointed to the character needed by previous generations to tame the western frontier and said the U.S. is no greater than the character of its people. He said character for young men is best formed by committing to marriage, something many men are neglecting in our time.
The growing support and backing from major figures like Perkins, Carson, and Hawley suggests ongoing momentum for declaring June Fidelity Month. Meanwhile, several corporations, sports teams, and more have toned down or backed away completely from the June Pride Month celebrations.
Maybe it’s not something to be proud of after all.
