Easter Sunday For Transgender
EKO HOT BLOG reports that President Joe Biden has shown support for transgender people in the United States by officially designating Easter Sunday as the “Transgender Day of Visibility.”
This announcement came on Saturday, with the Biden administration reminding the public that the International Transgender Day of Visibility was established on March 31, 2009, and has been observed annually on the same date ever since. The day serves to honor transgender individuals and raise awareness about the discrimination they face.
Moreover, the White House has revealed that President Biden’s proclamation is supported by the principles outlined in the US Constitution.
“Now, therefore, I, Joseph R. Biden Jr., 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.
Easter Sunday For Transgender
“I call upon all Americans to join us in lifting up the lives and voices of transgender people throughout our nation and to work towards eliminating violence and discrimination based on gender identity,” Biden said in an announcement yesterday.
Naija News understands that the Biden administration has consistently prioritized LGBT activism since its establishment.
In a statement, President Biden proudly highlighted his appointments of transgender leaders within his administration and the lifting of the ban on transgender Americans serving openly in the military.
However, there have been instances in the past where transgender inclusivity events at the White House have faced unintended consequences.
