Joe Biden Declares Easter Is Now Transgender Day Of Visibility This Year

President Biden seems to be trying to lose as many voters as he can lately, especially with his new bold move declaring March 31st as Transgender Day of Visibility and ordering state landmarks to be illuminated in the colors of the transgender flag on Easter Sunday. This decision was met with both praise and criticism, as it was seen by some as a powerful symbol of inclusivity and acceptance, while others viewed it as disrespectful to the religious significance of the holiday.

The proclamation of Transgender Day of Visibility was a bold step towards promoting inclusivity and acceptance of the transgender community. By lighting up state landmarks in the colors of the transgender flag on Easter Sunday, Biden sent a strong message that discrimination and violence against transgender individuals would not be tolerated. This move was seen as a powerful symbol of New York's commitment to creating a more equitable and just society for all.

In response to Biden's announcement, New York Governor Kathy Hochul has issued a proclamation declaring March 31, 2024, as Transgender Day of Visibility and has ordered state landmarks, including One World Trade Center and Niagara Falls, to be illuminated in the colors of the transgender flag on Easter Sunday in celebration of this day.

The move comes as part of a broader effort to promote awareness and acceptance of the transgender community and to celebrate the contributions of transgender individuals to society. In her proclamation, Governor Hochul said, "Transgender Day of Visibility is an opportunity to celebrate the incredible resilience and strength of transgender and gender non-conforming New Yorkers, and to recommit ourselves to creating a more inclusive and accepting society for all."

The decision to light up state landmarks in the colors of the transgender flag on Easter Sunday has sparked some controversy, with critics arguing that it is disrespectful to the religious significance of the holiday. However, supporters of the move argue that it is an important step towards promoting inclusivity and acceptance of the transgender community.

In response to the criticism, Governor Hochul said, "Our state is one of inclusion and acceptance, and we will continue to stand up for the rights of all New Yorkers, regardless of their gender identity or expression. Lighting our landmarks in the colors of the transgender flag on Easter Sunday is a powerful symbol of our commitment to creating a more equitable and just society for all."

The Transgender Day of Visibility is an annual event that takes place on March 31st and is dedicated to celebrating the accomplishments of transgender and gender non-conforming individuals and raising awareness of the discrimination and violence that they still face. The day was first observed in 2009 and has since grown into a global movement.

The transgender flag, which will be displayed on state landmarks on Easter Sunday, was first created in 1999 by transgender activist Monica Helms. The flag consists of five horizontal stripes: two light blue stripes, representing the traditional color for baby boys; two pink stripes, representing the traditional color for baby girls; and a white stripe in the center, representing those who are intersex, transitioning, or who feel they do not fit into the gender binary.

The decision to light up state landmarks in the colors of the transgender flag on Easter Sunday is a significant step towards promoting inclusivity and acceptance of the transgender community. Now if only we'd fix the crime, the housing crisis, the migrant crisis, and correct the state's deficit spending.
