President Biden marked Transgender Day of Remembrance on Monday, calling the level of violence against transgender individuals “unacceptable.” “There is no place for hate in America and no one should be discriminated against simply for being themselves,” Biden said in a statement.
“Today, on Transgender Day of Remembrance we are reminded that there is more to do meet that promise, as we grieve the 26 transgender Americans whose lives were taken this year. While each one of these deaths is a tragedy – the true toll of those victimized is likely even higher, with the majority of those targeted being women of color.”
Biden touted steps his administration has taken to strengthen rights for the LGBTQ community, citing the reversal of the Trump White House’s decision to ban transgender individuals from serving in the military and an executive action to bolster civil rights for all LGBTQ Americans.
Biden also noted the creation of the LGBTQI+ Community Safety Partnership — through the Department of Justice, Department of Homeland Security and Department of Health and Human Services — to collaborate with community organizations and provide safety resources.
“We must never be silent in the face of hate,” Biden said. “As we mourn the loss of transgender Americans taken too soon this year, we must also recommit ourselves to never stop fighting until all Americans can live free from discrimination...”

“There is no place for hate in America and no one should be discriminated against simply for being themselves,”Well President Sniffer, I'm a white conservative... a MAGA - a person who believes our leaders should put American first BEFORE the corrupt countries of the world who paid them off... IN OUR TREASURE AND OUR BLOOD.
Can the goons and thugs running our institutions STOP DISCRIMINATING AGAINST ME AND MY FELLOW CONSERVATIVES? Or is your 'compassion' limited to sexual weirdos? (sometime, just for the fun of it, make a list of the names YOU liberals call us. Lots of ugly hateful names and like the NAZIS you use the power of the State against us. How are SS troops different than the FBI?)
