Republicans have taken issue with President Joe Biden's proclamation of Easter Sunday as the Transgender Day of Visibility, despite the fact that the two days coincided this year by chance. The Transgender Day of Visibility, established in 2009 to celebrate the successes of transgender and gender-nonconforming individuals, is observed annually on March 31, while the date of Easter varies each year.
Several Republicans have criticized Biden for his proclamation. Former President Donald Trump's campaign labeled it as 'appalling and insulting,' while House Speaker Mike Johnson accused the administration of betraying the central tenet of Easter. In response, a White House spokesperson emphasized Biden's commitment to bringing people together and upholding the dignity and freedoms of all Americans.
