As you’re all likely aware, Joe Biden has faced serious backlash from Christians for declaring Easter Sunday as “Transgender Day of Visibility.” Well, you’re not going to believe this, but now he denies ever doing such a thing.
According to reports, Joe Biden issued a proclamation on Easter Sunday recognizing it as Transgender Day of Visibility. The proclamation was accompanied by a social media post in which Biden expressed support and respect for transgender individuals. The post read, “Today, on Transgender Day of Visibility, I have a simple message to all trans Americans: I see you. You are made in the image of God, and you’re worthy of respect and dignity.”

Biden, who claims to be a devout Catholic, denies issuing any proclamation declaring Easter Sunday as Transgender Day of Visibility. When questioned about the matter during the White House Easter Egg Roll, Biden responded, “Time for forgiveness and people getting together and a little bit of love and no phoniness. Be straight with people.” He further dismissed the criticism from House Speaker Mike Johnson, stating that Johnson was “thoroughly uninformed” and that he did not make the alleged proclamation.
BIDEN: “He’s thoroughly uninformed.”
During the annual Easter Egg Roll at the White House, EWTN’s @owentjensen asked the President about Speaker Johnson calling out the White House for proclaiming Transgender Day on Easter Sunday.

In the midst of the controversy, the White House released a statement to clarify Biden’s position. According to the statement, Biden did not establish the Transgender Day of Visibility or choose March 31st as its date of recognition. Well, we see the tweet above, but guess what…he did it before, and here’s the proof.
So, he can deny it all he wants, but the fact of the matter is that he did issue a formal presidential declaration in 2021 for Transgender Day of Visibility. Was it created before then? Sure, why not. That’s not what the issue is. Well, now that they’ve got 50+ holidays of their own occupying 14% of the calendar, I wonder if they’re feeling included yet.
