Biden Takes Fire For Redubbing Easter As “Transgender Day Of Visibility”

The Center Square [By Casey Harper] –
President Joe Biden is under fire after the White House made this year’s Easter holiday officially “Transgender Day of Visibility.”
It’s unclear whether the White House choosing to mark the most important Christian holiday as a transgender holiday was an intentional decision or a political gaffe.
“The Biden White House has betrayed the central tenet of Easter – which is the resurrection of Jesus Christ,” U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. “Banning sacred truth and tradition – while at the same time proclaiming Easter Sunday as ‘Transgender Day’ – is outrageous and abhorrent. The American people are taking note.”
Biden posted on X Sunday honoring the new holiday.
“On Transgender Day of Visibility, we celebrate the joy, strength, and absolute courage of some of the bravest people I know,” Biden wrote. “Today, we show millions of transgender and nonbinary Americans that we see them, they belong, and they should be treated with dignity and respect.”
After that, the criticism poured in.
“This is what Biden cares about and who he caters to. He is devaluing Easter and elevating trans recognition,” U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. “Downright shameful and despicable.”
The decision may backfire politically, and the Trump campaign quickly took the opportunity to blast Biden and call for him to apologize.
One senator called for firing the person responsible.
“Aside from being disgraceful and insulting to Christians, declaring a trans day of visibility on Easter Sunday is just *weird,*” Sen. J.D. Vance, R-Ohio, wrote on X. “The White House should apologize. Then Biden should fire whoever is responsible.”
Next year, Easter, the Christian holiday celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ after his crucifixion, will be on April 20 and thus avoid the same conflict with the now official Transgender Day of Visibility, which will remain on March 31.
Notably, on the White House’s Spanish-speaking X account, they did not celebrate transgender visibility day but instead honored Easter and César Chávez Day.
“Apparently the White House fears that Spanish-speaking Americans might be offended by Biden’s decision to conflate Easter with ‘Transgender Day of Visibility’ – perhaps to an even greater degree than English speakers,” U.S. Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, wrote on X. “Mr. President: it’s offensive to Christians – in all languages.”
Thumbing your nose at God, through proclamations, has been a fatal mistake that literally hundreds of political and religious leaders have chosen to make, at the peril of their civilizations in our world history! It’s a fact, that God’s grace on mercy does know limits. I wonder if we are at or close to a point of no return, one in which, not even true corporate repentance will negate God’s coming wrath.
This was an intentional act by the most anti-Christian president in History.
I think March 31st has been recognized as “transgender day” since 2009. Easter and March 31st just happen to align this year. Breathe, y’all.
At the last count there are 154 days that are associated with this sick and mentally impaired group of people. Over half the year dedicated to this perversion. More than another group. They have been indoctrinated through our ” wonderful” education system K through Graduate school. We live in a world where good is evil and evil is good. When I grew up as a kid you didn’t hear of this insanity. Doesn’t mean it didn’t exist but they didn’t push their agenda in your face every second of the day. Not like they do in today’s sick world.
1 John 2:16 KJV
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
Proverbs 10:27 KJV
The fear of the Lord prolongeth days: But the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
In God we trust not government or man.
Have a blessed day.
Care to name those 154 days? Nothing is pushed in your face unless you wish it so. So again, this day of recognition has been March 31st for many years.
I think the issue is more about suicide prevention, perhaps even that of a relative or friend of your own.
Have a blessed day.
Do your own research. And yes it is being pushed in our faces. Because even if I give you proof. You still wouldn’t believe it and make some excuse like suicide prevention. Yes I do have a member in my family that is gay and told him that I love him but don’t condone his lifestyle. And he has never thought about suicide.
Have a blessed wonderful day.
