White House Defends Biden’s Proclamation Of ‘Transgender Day Of Visibility’ Amid Backlash As It Falls On Easter Sunday

President Joe Biden responded to criticism coming from his decision to mark March 31 as “Transgender Day of Visibility,” which coincides with Easter Sunday this year, with the White House standing by the president’s remarks in a new statement.

White House spokesman Andrew Bates released a statement saying those critical of Biden’s inclusiveness message are trying to further divide the country.

“As a Christian who celebrates Easter with family, President Biden stands for bringing people together and upholding the dignity and freedoms of every American,” Bates said in a statement. “Sadly, it’s unsurprising politicians are seeking to divide and weaken our country with cruel, hateful and dishonest rhetoric. President Biden will never abuse his faith for political purposes or for profit.”

....and a cow jumped over the moon
He does not attempt to bring people together even if he did proclaim TVD. He’s an extremely divisive politician. It was a statement he made on being inaugurated, something he dropped like a bad habit once he was in office.

@soar2newhighs Someone told me that he went to the hospital last week here to have some tests run. He went to the bathroom and there was a Joe Biden sticker stuck to the inside of a urinal so it would get peed on. 😂

International Transgender Day of Visibility has been around since 2009.

Unlike his predecessor, Biden has recognized it every year of his first term.

Here is his 2021Proclamation:

Here is his 2022 Proclamation:

Here is his 2023 Proclamation:

It just so happens that Easter falls on the same day as International Transgender Day of Visibility in 2024. 😱

But don’t worry, you won’t have to clutch at your pearls until the TDOV and Easter collide again in 2086.

Maybe complain about Easter and April Fool’s day happening on the same day in 2029 if you need something to get your knickers in a twist until then.

Open Doors currently have North Korea as the #1 Country on their watchlist of persecuting Christians.

This shows the USA has now taken away the no.1 spot for oppressing Christians from North Korea!!!!!!!!!

Now it’s “Oyster”, not Easter if you follow the new terminology of Joe Biden and his “oyster bunnies”.
