The White House responded to Republican criticisms about the Transgender Day of Visibility coinciding with Easter this year, emphasizing President Biden’s commitment to inclusivity and the dignity of all Americans. Critics, including House Speaker Mike Johnson and former President Trump’s campaign, accused Biden of mocking Christian faith by recognizing the Transgender Day of Visibility on March 31, which clashed with Easter Sunday. The criticisms pointed to an alleged disregard for the religious significance of Easter, calling for an apology to Christians.
White House spokesperson Andrew Bates countered these accusations by highlighting President Biden’s Christian faith and his intention to unite Americans while respecting their freedoms. Bates criticized the divisive and harmful rhetoric used by some politicians, reaffirming Biden’s stance against exploiting faith for political gains. The Transgender Day of Visibility, established 15 years ago, aims to celebrate transgender individuals and address the discrimination they face, while Easter’s date varies annually.
