Ivy League professor replaces ‘Pride Month’ with God-honoring alternative.
Princeton Professor Calls for “Fidelity Month” Instead of “Pride Month”
Princeton University professor Robert George is bucking the trend of giving June the LGBT-inspired label of “Pride Month” and is calling for it to be celebrated as “Fidelity Month.”
George posted about the idea on his Facebook page in May and wrote about it on a new Fidelity Month website.
He expressed concern about the “precipitous decline in our fellow Americans’ belief in the importance of such values as patriotism, religion, family, and community — the values that used to unite Americans despite our many differences.”
1/ If polls are to be believed, there has been a precipitous decline in Americans’ belief in the importance of patriotism, religion, marriage and family, and community—values that, broadly speaking, have throughout our history united Americans despite our many differences. pic.twitter.com/04pa8bOhzP

George issued a call for officials and faith leaders to support Fidelity Month, “a month dedicated to the importance of fidelity to God, spouses and families, our country, and our communities.”
3/ I’d be grateful if you and any organizations which you’re involved in, or in which have influence, to recognize and celebrate Fidelity Month. Put out a statement. Hold an event. Use our logo on your social media pages. Make and fly a Fidelity Month flag. Think of other things. pic.twitter.com/n5r7bcSdLm

The concept received the support of Tyler O’Neil, managing editor of The Daily Signal, in a commentary whose headline called the idea a “brilliant move.”
“Humility entails surrendering yourself to God and reenacting in a small way the humbling of Jesus, who gave up the presence of the Father to take on human form and become a servant among us, even becoming obedient to the point of death,” he said.
“Yet humility carries a negative connotation,” O’Neil said. “‘Pride’ has succeeded because the LGBTQ+ movement associates it with the message that human beings have inherent worth, and no matter your sexual orientation or gender identity, you can take ownership of yourself.
“The proper response isn’t just to negate what the LGBTQ+ movement promises, but to take the positive view of humanity and ground it in something more noble.”
Join the Movement

5/ If you are a religious leader, please make sure your denomination, diocese, church, synagogue, mosque or other congregation recognizes–and does something for–Fidelity Month. Let people of all faiths join together for this observance, as we do, for example, for Thanksgiving.

An Ivy League Professor’s “Brilliant Move” to Honor God Instead of Pride Month
Happy Fidelity Month!
First observation of Fidelity Month: Pride is a Sin— G J Czar (@GJCzar1) June 5, 2023
June is often associated with Pride Month, but one Ivy League professor is making a bold move to honor God instead. According to his website, Robert P. George is the sixth McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence and director of the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions at Princeton.
In response to the “endless barrage of rainbow flags” that come with Pride Month, George has created “Fidelity Month” as a representation for those who are tired of seeing constant reminders of America’s institutions being in lockstep with the sexual revolution. He believes that those who truly want to live and let live, but see any dissent from the rainbow orthodoxy quashed in the public square, deserve representation.
Why Fidelity Month?
- It offers representation for those who are tired of having their faith demonized as “anti-LGBTQ+.”
- It honors God and promotes fidelity to His teachings.
- It provides an alternative to the constant bombardment of Pride Month.
George’s “brilliant move” has gained attention and sparked conversation. Will Fidelity Month catch on as an alternative to Pride Month? Only time will tell.
