Topline
Despite the fact that Transgender Day of Visibility is celebrated on March 31 every year on Easter Sunday, the Trump plan criticized President Joe Biden for declaring March 31, which is this time Transgender Day of Visibility.
Major Information
Karoline Leavitt, a spokesman for the Trump campaign, called it “appalling and demeaning” that Biden “formally proclaimed Easter Sunday as” Trans Day of Presence.”
March 31 is being designated as” Transgender Day of Visibility,” according to a White House statement released on Friday. It asks people to” join us in lifting up the life and voices of transgender persons throughout our Nation and work toward ending murder and discrimination based on gender identity.”
The statement drew common criticism from conservatives on social media—House Speaker Mike Johnson, R- La., called it “outrageous and awful” that Biden recognized” Transgender Day” on Easter Sunday, while flame Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R- Ga., tweeted,” There is no size Biden and the Democrats did n’t come to insult your faith”.
The day of Easter is changed year by year, and since Biden has made the same statement in every year of his presidency, Transgender Day of Visibility is observed on March 31 across the globe. This year, Easter Sunday is this year.
Tangent
In contrast, the White House and America’s Egg Farmers collaborated to invite members of the National Guard to create Easter egg artwork based on the theme” Celebrating our Military Families,” but liberals also interpreted a flyer for the event as an attack on Christianity because it contained a segment prohibiting “any questionable content, religious symbols, openly religious designs, or partisan political claims.” The guidelines were formulated by Johnson as” Banning sacred truth and tradition.” The restrictions are in place because America’s egg farmers are subject to” strict guidelines under the USDA” and cannot be” seen as promoting one political viewpoint or ideology over the other,” according to Emily Metz, CEO of the American Egg Board, which is why they are focusing solely on “egg promotion and marketing activities.”
Contra
Biden has maintained that he is a sincere Catholic and has been vocal about his beliefs. He also wrote in a statement commemorating Easter last year that he had also issued the following:” We remember Jesus ‘ sacrifice and recommit ourselves to love our neighbors as ourselves and to love them with all our hearts, embracing His call to treat one another with compassion.”
Key Background
According to the LGBTQ advocacy group GLAAD, the International Transgender Day of Visibility was established in 2010 as a response to a wave of media coverage of transgender people that focused on violence. Rachel Crandall, the founder of the Day of Visibility, “hoped to create a day where people could celebrate the lives of transgender people, while still acknowledging that due to discrimination, not every trans person can or wants to be visible”.
What To Watch For
The White House says it’s expecting upwards of 40, 000 people to attend its annual Easter Monday Easter Egg Roll, with a theme of “EGG- ucation”.
