Patriotism Not Pride Act
To prohibit certain Federal activity with respect to the promotion of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex Pride Month and the display of flags representing sexual orientation or gender identity on Federal property or grounds, and for other purposes.
This bill, HB4021, known as the "Patriotism Not Pride Act," aims to restrict federal activities that promote Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex (LGBTQ+) Pride Month and the display of flags representing sexual orientation or gender identity on federal property. The bill's primary sponsor is Josh Brecheen, with several other Republican co-sponsors.
If passed, the bill would impact federal agencies by limiting their ability to support or recognize LGBTQ+ Pride Month and the use of related flags on federal land. This could affect public events and displays that currently occur on federal grounds during Pride Month. The restrictions would apply to any federal property or grounds, including parks, schools, and offices.
The bill was introduced on June 17, 2025, and has been referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform for further consideration. This is the initial step in the legislative process, and the committee will review the bill's contents, potentially holding hearings and making recommendations for further action.
