Florida GOP chair Evan Power blasted President Biden for declaring March 31, 2024, Easter Sunday, „Transgender Day of Visibility.“
“There appears to be no limit to what the Biden administration will do to try and shove their radical agenda down the throats of the American people,” Power said in a statement released on Saturday.
“As Christians gather tomorrow to celebrate Easter Sunday, one of the most holy days of the Christian calendar, President Biden thinks that it is appropriate to issue a proclamation designating Easter Sunday as ‘Transgender Day of Visibility,’” he continued, pointing out that this “comes the same day that it is reported for the first time that Christian symbolism was not allowed in the White House Easter Egg contest.”
“President Biden should issue a retraction and an apology to the American people, and Nikki Fried along with all Florida Democrats should demand the same,” he added.
Indeed, Biden officially declared Easter Sunday the “Transgender Day of Visibility.” In the proclamation, he demonized those who defend children from transgender ideology as “extremists.”
Biden’s proclamation continues:
Transgender Americans are part of the fabric of our Nation. Whether serving their communities or in the military, raising families or running businesses, they help America thrive. They deserve, and are entitled to, the same rights and freedoms as every other American, including the most fundamental freedom to be their true selves. But extremists are proposing hundreds of hateful laws that target and terrify transgender kids and their families — silencing teachers; banning books; and even threatening parents, doctors, and nurses with prison for helping parents get care for their children. These bills attack our most basic American values: the freedom to be yourself, the freedom to make your own health care decisions, and even the right to raise your own child. It is no surprise that the bullying and discrimination that transgender Americans face is worsening our Nation’s mental health crisis, leading half of transgender youth to consider suicide in the past year.
…
At the same time, an epidemic of violence against transgender women and girls, especially women and girls of color, continues to take too many lives.
