Conservatives are calling out President Joe Biden for celebrating Transgender Day of Visibility on Easter Sunday.
On Friday, Biden put out a White House proclamation in recognition of Transgender Day of Visibility, noting the day was meant to honor “extraordinary courage and contributions of transgender Americans.”
The Transgender Day of Visibility is held every year on March 31st; however, the date of Easter changes every year and lined up on the same day. The holiday started in 2009 as a way to celebrate transgender and gender-nonconforming individuals.
However, Republican lawmakers and right-wingers online used Biden’s proclamation to claim the president was ignoring Easter Sunday. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) bashed Biden for betraying “the central tenet of Easter” in a post on X.
The Biden White House has betrayed the central tenet of Easter — which is the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Banning sacred truth and tradition—while at the same time proclaiming Easter Sunday as “Transgender Day”—is outrageous and abhorrent. The American people are taking note. pic.twitter.com/ZCExyVkAVS

Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump issued his own statement on Saturday, calling Biden’s proclamation “appalling and insulting.”

Other right-wing personalities on X, including Benny Johnson, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Charlie Kirk, also expressed outrage over the decision by the White House to honor transgender Americans. In addition, Conservatives flamed Biden for banning religious symbols at this year’s White House Easter egg designs event.

Joe Biden just proclaimed Easter Sunday a “Transgender Day of Visibility.”
Yes, he really just did that.
If you’re offended, that’s the point. https://t.co/qVpl68lCQX

Joe Biden just proclaimed that “Transgender Visibility Day” is on Sunday, March 31st. I wonder how he came up with that date.

It is an absolute disgrace that Joe Biden declared tomorrow, Easter Sunday, “Trans Visibility Day.”
What a slap in the face to hundreds of millions of Christians in America and across the globe.
Voters won’t forget this in November.

This is the left’s new religion. They want people worshiping the trans flag instead of God. They must be stopped. pic.twitter.com/vVTZf7t5M7

Biden’s re-election team can reflect on this moment when he loses in November. This was intentionally done to disrespect the Christian significance of Easter and it WILL backfire. pic.twitter.com/HUn2RvVGwV
