So the whitehouse / Biden have declared March 31st as Transgender visibility day, on Easter Sunday WOW

@sree251 [quote]Biden is a Catholic[/quote]

Exactly, that is why Jesus said, "call no man father..." The latin word for father - Papa/Pope

@Justice4All Are you having an Easter dinner today to commemorate the resurrection?

@sree251 Yes, We are having a family gathering 🙂. What about you?

@Justice4All Yes, I am having an Easter dinner; just two of us, me and Jesus.

Isn't Jesus the guy who said = Matthew 15:24 (GW) = Jesus responded, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the nation of Israel.”

@Diotrephes read the next part about the dogs being entitled to the crmbs that fall from the table

@Diotrephes No, not that Jesus. He is not the one in the public space accessible to people.

@sree251 [quote]The US may not be a theocracy but it was formed by Christians who immigrated from Christian cultures of Great Britain and Europe mainly Germany. Our justice system is based on Christian values. This is the truth.[/quote]
Christian values = slavery and Jim Crow.

@Diotrephes Don't conflate White American values with Christian values.

Is that how you see it? Foreign cultures see US negatively also.

We need to make a distinction between White Christian Americans and White secular Americans

My comment applies to all Christian countries, like Spain, England, Germany, Italy, France, Portugal, the Nederlands, Belgium.

@Justice4All Do you actually, seriously believe that Biden deliberately ensured that Easter Sunday 2024 fell on Transgender Visibility Day?

You said "Slavery and Jim Crow". There were no Jim Crows anywhere except the USA.

Have you forgotten about apartheid in South Africa and Nazi Germany?

You are running away from the topic: American Christian values.

What is your ethnicity, anyway? If you are going to find fault with White Christians, let's see what your breed is.

@sree251 [quote]Biden deliberately made the proclamation when it is none of his damn business as President of the US. He could have delegated it to Admiral Rachel Levine, Secretary of Health.[/quote] And he made the proclamation the year before, and the year before that. What's your point?

@SW-User As a member of the RCC, Biden should demonstrate enough respect for Christians not to designate their holiest day as a celebration of what many perceive as an abomination. Despite the RCC's compassionate stance on LGBT issues, numerous Catholics were highly troubled by Biden's actions.

We cannot disenfranchase the LGBT community. They have the right to express their beliefs and celebrate occasions, just as we do. However, the conjunction of Easter Sunday and LGBT advocacy is incongruous. As the leader of the US, Biden should have refrained from making such statements. If the LGBT community wished to celebrate on this day, they have that right, but we do not require a president who designates our most sacred day as a time for all Americans to embrace what many perceive as sinful behavior.

Why does the concept of an LGBT identity persist? While liberals champion equality and uniformity, they frequently accentuate identities and classify individuals into groups. How does one's sexual orientation define their identity as a human being?

@Justice4All He did NOT designate Easter Sunday as Trans Visibility Day. It simply fell on Easter Sunday
