White House Responds to Christian and GOP Backlash Over ‘Transgender Day of Visibility’ Proclamation — Does Not Apologize

The White House has responded to the backlash from Christians over the “Transgender Day of Visibility” proclamation issued by Joe Biden. Biden declared March 31 to be a holiday honoring transgender people — but this March 31, of course, is Easter.

“NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim March 31, 2024, as Transgender Day of Visibility,” the White House proclamation declared. “I call upon all Americans to join us in lifting up the lives and voices of transgender people throughout our Nation and to work toward eliminating violence and discrimination based on gender identity.”

Biden, who says he is a “devout” Catholic, has also banned religious artwork from the White House Easter egg competition.

Naturally, the absurd gesture sparked massive outrage from Republicans, including former President Donald Trump.

The Trump campaign issued a statement saying, “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.’ 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.”

On Saturday evening, the White House responded to the outrage, claiming that it was “cruel” and “hateful.”

White House spokesperson Andrew Bates said in a statement, “As a Christian who celebrates Easter with Family, President Biden stands for bringing people together and upholding the dignity and freedoms of every American.”

“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.”

The statement, of course, did not contain any semblance of an apology.

I guess there’s a certain emotional freedom in confession. This is just telling the world that U.S. liberal democrats are majority just a bunch of trannies.

The White House spokeswoman said this year’s tranny day of visibility always falls on March 31, so it fell on Easter this year.

Eid al-fitr falls on March 31, 2025.

“...As a former resident f San Francisco,, I had several gay friends. We all did. One gay man went to church with me every Sunday. I’m a woman. And my most beautiful female friend had a daughter who is a lesbian. Should I ditch that friendship? I like daughter too.
Go clutch your pearls elsewhere.”

And thank you for allowing me to be part of the catharsis you’re going through. Oddly enough you’re not the only person who lived and worked in the Bay Area. Personnally I think Cole Porter wrote some great stuff but sometimes I think he fooled his audience just as much if not more than the his wife of many years. Sadly, she was absolutely heartbroken over his choice of alternative lifestyles.

I cast my pearls before you.
