White House doubles down on inclusiveness message amid backlash over Transgender Day of Visibility on Easter
Fox News
The White House responded after criticism over President Biden marking Transgender Day of Visibility on March 31, the same day as Easter Sunday this year.
"As a Christian who celebrates Easter with family, President Biden stands for bringing people together and upholding the dignity and freedoms of every American," Bates said in a statement. "Sadly, it’s unsurprising politicians are seeking to divide and weaken our country with cruel, hateful and dishonest rhetoric. President Biden will never abuse his faith for political purposes or for profit."
While March 31 has been designated to honor the transgender movement internationally since 2009, this year it falls on Easter Sunday, one of the most important days for Christians celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
