https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-15868201/Arkansas-Governor-Sarah-Sanders-Christian-alternative-Pride-Month.html
The article's headline read: 'Another Red State Is Counter-Programming Pride Month, Focusing On Family Instead.'
Sanders, however, was not the only official to sidestep Pride Month in favor of a different June observance.
Alabama Governor Kay Ivey declared June 'Strong Families Month,' with her office saying it emphasizes 'the importance of strong families led by a father and mother,' according to a news release.
'The example of my own parents showed me that strong families begin with strong parents,' Ivey said.
'We proudly recognize the mothers and fathers raising the next generation and preserving the timeless values that guide Alabama.'

I'm twice divorced and I also declare June strong families month, in whatever way, shape, or form a family chooses to create and sustain and celebrate itself.
What defines her is an evil heart.

and rather inconvenient of late as more and more of their own members display the very behavior they assert is bad for anyone else. Glass houses aren't built to weather storms.

What values? Cheating on anything and everything? Abuse of women and children? Promoting a false christianity? Fake patriotism? Hatred of America and Americans? Those "timeless" values, Ms. Ivey?
