Today is the first day of June, which means that many across the country are beginning to celebrate Pride Month. (In Washington, D.C., such festivities began in late May.) University campuses, public parks, libraries, and historic downtowns across America will start donning the colors of the rainbow. Some Fortune 500 companies will likewise adapt their logos (at least in the Western world) to show their LGBTQ+ solidarity. But while rainbows will dominate the public square for some, other groups are insisting upon a different emblem — and a far worthier celebration.
Two years ago, Robert P. George, professor of Jurisprudence at Princeton University, started Fidelity Month. It’s a grassroots movement to celebrate the classic, American virtues that have long made this nation great. The movement aims to encourage both individual and communal fidelity: to God, to family, and to country. Fidelity Month’s emblem is the golden myrtle wreath. In an age of doubt, worry, and selfishness, Fidelity Month is a breath of fresh air.
