"On Transgender Day of Visibility, we honor the extraordinary courage and contributions of transgender Americans and reaffirm our Nation’s commitment to forming a more perfect Union — where all people are created equal and treated equally throughout their lives.
I am proud that my Administration has stood for justice from the start, working to ensure that the LGBTQI+ community can live openly, in safety, with dignity and respect. I am proud to have appointed transgender leaders to my Administration and to have ended the ban on transgender Americans serving openly in our military. I am proud to have signed historic Executive Orders that strengthen civil rights protections in housing, employment, health care, education, the justice system, and more. I am proud to have signed the Respect for Marriage Act into law, ensuring that every American can marry the person they love.
Transgender Americans are part of the fabric of our Nation. Whether serving their communities or in the military, raising families or running businesses, they help America thrive. They deserve, and are entitled to, the same rights and freedoms as every other American, including the most fundamental freedom to be their true selves. But extremists are proposing hundreds of hateful laws that target and terrify transgender kids and their families — silencing teachers; banning books; and even threatening parents, doctors, and nurses with prison for helping parents get care for their children. These bills attack our most basic American values: the freedom to be yourself, the freedom to make your own health care decisions, and even the right to raise your own child. It is no surprise that the bullying and discrimination that transgender Americans face is worsening our Nation’s mental health crisis, leading half of transgender youth to consider suicide in the past year. At the same time, an epidemic of violence against transgender women and girls, especially women and girls of color, continues to take too many lives. Let me be clear: All of these attacks are un-American and must end. No one should have to be brave just to be themselves. "

Everyone: Biden should really reach out to disaffected Republicans and center right conservatives who are uncomfortable with Trump.
Biden: Easter is now Transgender Day of Visibility. Best I can do.
@RightTomatoeGreen2mos2MO
Trans Day of Visibility has happened annually on March 31st since 2009, Easter is a different date each year. Next year Easter will be on 4/20, which I am sure you'll take equally well.
@RightW1ngMariaSocialist2mos2MO
I’m sure people smoking pot on Easter next year will send many social conservatives to their fainting couches.
@RightTomatoeGreen2mos2MO
I can see it now.
Right wing - “Biden is polluting our cherished traditions by holding Easter on Degenerate weed addict Day”
Left Wing - “Wow. Stealth celebrating Hitler’s birthday, much? Fascists fr fr.”

It has never been openly celebrated and recognised by our government, and crammed in our faces as it is now, until Biden, because in 2009 not even the government was insane enough to celebrate a horrible mental health condition.

It's no coincidence that this BS is on Easter Sunday. In spite of claiming to be "Catholic" Biden has declared war on Christianity and traditional morality, and wants to use tyrannical powers to replace our celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ with a heathen commemoration of the sins of Marxist gender cultists. What ever happened to the First Amendment he swore to "preserve, protect, and defend"? This is one of the most disgusting actions any President in our history has ever taken, and he deserves instantaneous impeachment for it. All state legislatures with a shred of Patriotism remaining must nullify this morally reprehensible law.

I don't care if your gay but I believe God made you how he wanted you and you should not change the way he made it.. If you wanna like girls and your a girl that doesn't effect me however I have young nieces and nephews and if you go into a women's restroom just because you feel like a woman and have a penis I will have a problem with that
@Fr33domBillLibertarian2mos2MO
Remember, no religious symbols! Especially not pagan fertility ones!
@9L7TZHT2mos2MO
Transgender day of visibility has always been March 31st, there’s no reason we can’t recognize both transgender day of visibility and easter.
I hate that these non issues become front and center for outrage while they continue ignoring the plight of the disaffected lower-middle class in an economy that’s out pricing people from their own cities. It would be nice for someone to recognize that and do something about it.
@MorbidBearRepublican2mos2MO
Just cancel the Easter Egg Hunt, this is blasphemy and it’s coming from the guy who claims he’s “Catholic” ~ this is a slap in the face and during Holy Week…
