After President Biden sparked fury by declaring March 31 'Transgender Day of Visibility,' which this year is also Easter Sunday, former President Trump called for an immediate apology to millions of Christians and Catholics. Trump's national press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, called it 'appalling and insulting' that Biden 'formally proclaimed Easter Sunday as ‘Trans Day of Visibility.
Leavitt said the Biden administration's move comes after the White House banned religious egg designs in its Easter Art Event. The art contest is part of the White House’s Easter traditions, which include the annual Easter Egg Roll. The flier for the contest states that an Easter egg design submission 'must not include any questionable content, religious symbols, overtly religious themes, or partisan political statements.
Today, we send a message to all transgender Americans: You are loved. You are heard. You are understood. You belong. You are America, and my entire Administration and I have your back,' it continued. 'NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. 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.' Trump's call for an apology from Biden came after prominent politicians and conservative commentators declared outrage over the ‘Transgender Day of Visibility’ on the most solemn Christian holiday.
Former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy called Biden out on X, formerly Twitter, writing, 'Joe Biden just proclaimed that ‘Transgender Visibility Day’ is on Sunday, March 31st. I wonder how he came up with that date.' Rep. Alex Mooney, R-W.Va., echoed Ramaswamy's sentiments as he blasted Biden for the 'coincidence on the timing.
