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.”

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.
