HR231 recognizes the month of June 2025 as "LGBTQ+ Pride Month" in Pennsylvania.
The Pennsylvania State House of Representatives passed HR231 on June 11, 2025 by a vote of 120 to 83. We have assigned pluses to the nays because homosexual behavior and “same-sex marriages” should be illegal in Pennsylvania, not honored. Being contrary to the “Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God,” the grossly illicit, self-inhibiting, and unsanitary acts of sexual perversion inherent to the LGBTQ+ movement are destructive of self-government and the family—the very foundations of a free society. As with abortion, there is nothing in the U.S. Constitution that can be used to support homosexuality because true “equality” under the law means that there can be no appeal to “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness” for anyone apart from the moral sanctions set forth by “their Creator” who grants them with “certain unalienable Rights.” In other words, the positive standard established by the principles of the American Founding implies the negative prohibition. Despite what the legislature declares, no amount of celebration can make normal or even constitutional that which truth has told us since time immemorial to abominable and shameful.
