On June 1, businesses, government, and even churches will erect rainbow flags and publish proclamations about the importance of "Pride Month," a celebration of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender identities. (Of course, the little plus sign means the list goes on and on, including queer, questioning, intersex, two-spirit, and more. One version even includes "friends and family.")
This rush to celebrate LGBTQ+ lifestyles is both exclusionary and offensive to conservative Jews and Christians who follow the Bible's teaching that God created humans male and female, that marriage is between one man and one woman, and that pride is a cardinal sin, not a virtue.
Rather than merely complaining, Princeton professor Robert P. George decided to do something about it. He launched an effort to flip "Pride Month" on its head--dedicating the month not to a specific interest group, but to a moral virtue, fidelity. (George is a member of The Heritage Foundation's board of directors and The Daily Signal is Heritage's news outlet.)
"Fidelity" derives from the Latin word "fides," meaning "faith" or "trust." The word implies "strict and continuing faithfulness to an obligation, trust, or duty," according to Merriam-Webster.
