Happy Easter: Democrats Double Down on ‘Transgender Visibility Day’

Democrats have doubled down on their support of “Transgender Visibility Day” on Easter Sunday despite widespread backlash from conservatives.

After Biden on Friday affirmed the controversial holiday as the same day as Easter Sunday, the holiest Christian holiday, other Democrats piled on in support.

“On Transgender Day of Visibility, the Biden-Harris Administration honors the extraordinary courage and contributions of transgender Americans and reaffirms our Nation’s commitment to forming a more perfect union where all people are treated equally,” White House press secretary Jean-Pierre posted Saturday on X.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) likewise recognized the transgender holiday.

“On this #TransDayOfVisibility, I want our #transgender and non-binary community to know that your city sees you, stands with you, and will protect you. Always,” he wrote. “New York City is the birthplace of the modern #LGBTQ+ Civil Rights movement and we will always march with you towards justice.”

Former President Donald Trump, House Speaker Mike Johnson, and other conservative lawmakers and activists alike blasted the move as an affront to Christianity’s holiest day.

“We call on Joe Biden’s failing campaign and the 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,” Trump’s press secretary Karoline Leavitt said.

Interestingly, the Uncensored.AI chatbot recognized the declaration of Transgender Visibility Day on Easter Sunday as a Satanic tactic.

I just asked https://t.co/wt1e9iRnGG if Biden declaring the Transgender Day of Visibility was Satanic?
