‘Easter Sunday Is Being Replaced’
Much of the criticism of the president’s proclamation centered on the fact that March 31, 2024, falls on Easter Sunday, which is one of the most important Christian religious holidays.
“Easter Sunday is being replaced,” actor and producer Kevin Sorbo, who has 1.9 million followers on X, said in a post. “Our ‘Catholic’ president banned religious imagery from the White House and is now calling Easter Sunday ’transgender day of visibility.'”
President Joe Biden has declared March 31, 2024, which falls on Easter Sunday, as “Transgender Day of Visibility,” sparking uproar among conservatives and scathing criticism from former President Donald Trump, who demanded that the president apologize to millions of Christians in the United States.
“Today, we send a message to all transgender Americans ... You are America, and my entire Administration and I have your back,” President Biden said in the March 29 proclamation, while boasting of appointing “transgender leaders” to his administration and ending a ban on transgender people from serving openly in the military.
Calling transgender people “part of the fabric of our Nation” who help the country and its economy thrive, the president touted his administration’s efforts to make public services more accessible for transgender Americans, including “more inclusive passports” that include an X as the “gender” marker.
“There is much more to do,” President Biden said, while urging Congress to pass the Equality Act “to codify civil rights protections for all LGBTQI+ Americans” and officially declaring this coming Easter Sunday as “Transgender Day of Visibility.”
President Biden’s move sparked an outpouring of criticism among conservatives, including from the Trump campaign, which also objected to the White House’s instructions for an Easter egg art design competition for children that ban submissions with religious symbols or “overtly religious themes.”
“It is appalling and insulting that Joe Biden’s White House prohibited children from submitting religious egg designs for their Easter Art Event, and formally proclaimed Easter Sunday as ‘Trans Day of Visibility,’” Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said in a statement.
“Sadly, these are just two more examples of the Biden Administration’s years-long assault on the Christian faith. We call on Joe Biden’s failing campaign and White House to issue an apology to the millions of Catholics and Christians across America who believe tomorrow is for one celebration only—the resurrection of Jesus Christ,” she added.
The White House did not respond to a request for comment.
