Trump, far-right condemn Biden over Trans Day of Visibility proclamation
Former President Donald Trump and his far-right allies lashed out at President Joe Biden for issuing a proclamation honoring International Transgender Day of Visibility, an annual event occurring on March 31 dedicated to celebrating trans people and raising awareness of discrimination faced by trans people worldwide.
This year the day happens to coincide when Christians mark the religious festival and cultural holiday of Easter, also an annual observance, which however, along with its related holidays are moveable feasts not falling on a fixed date.
In a statement released by Trump campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavitt, the Republican frontrunner in the 2024 presidential election and the presumptive GOP nominee said: “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.” This was also echoed by transphobic and homophobic Trump ally U.S.
