The White House has responded to the backlash from Christians over the “Transgender Day of Visibility” proclamation issued by Joe Biden. Biden declared March 31 to be a holiday honoring transgender people — but this March 31, of course, is Easter.
“NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim March 31, 2024, as Transgender Day of Visibility,” the White House proclamation declared. “I call upon all Americans to join us in lifting up the lives and voices of transgender people throughout our Nation and to work toward eliminating violence and discrimination based on gender identity.”
Biden, who says he is a “devout” Catholic, has also banned religious artwork from the White House Easter egg competition.
Naturally, the absurd gesture sparked massive outrage from Republicans, including former President Donald Trump.
The Trump campaign issued a statement saying, “It is appalling and insulting that Joe Biden’s White House prohibited children from submitting religious egg designs for their Easter Art Event, and formally proclaimed Easter Sunday as ‘Trans Day of Visibility.’ Sadly, these are just two more examples of the Biden Administration’s years-long assault on the Christian faith. We call on Joe Biden’s failing campaign and White House to issue an apology to the millions of Catholics and Christians across America who believe tomorrow is for one celebration only — the resurrection of Jesus Christ.”
On Saturday evening, the White House responded to the outrage, claiming that it was “cruel” and “hateful.”
White House spokesperson Andrew Bates said in a statement, “As a Christian who celebrates Easter with Family, President Biden stands for bringing people together and upholding the dignity and freedoms of every American.”
“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.”
The statement, of course, did not contain any semblance of an apology.

Transgender Day of Confusion

Cole Porter knew this back in the forties:
“In olden days a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking
Now heaven knows, anything goes
Good authors too who once knew better words
Now only use four letter words writing prose
Anything goes
The world has gone mad today
And good’s bad today
And black’s white today
And day’s night today
When most guys today that women prize today
Are just silly gigolos...”
Only the Biden freaks can make it far worse than Cole Porter could ever imagine.
Eid al-Fitr, the feast after Ramadan, will be on March 31, next year. I wonder how the “progressives” will handle that quandary?
All Biden had to say is
“... look the trans day has gone on for years on Mar 31 and just happened to fall on Easter this year because of the Christian calendar which celebrates Easter on a different day each year. We do not seek to offend any religious group ... etc etc”
It was a simple matter to explain away with their usual BS. But they chose to not do that.
Thus one can infer that they got some enjoyment out of poking a stick in Christian’s eyes since they are not a favored class. I see no other explanation.
Apologize? America is not a Christian nation. It is a Satanic nation.
Eid Al Fitr should be “Pedo recognition day” but Chomo Joe would never upset his Muslims.
There will be no mention of it next year, they want to keep their heads.
They would love nothing better than to get us mad. Someday they may succeed, but it won’t be at their timing.
Traitorjoe and his traitorous, demonic administration promote the slaughter of children of the womb. Their promotion of sexual perversion, in addition to that practiced by Pedojoe, is hardly surprising.
To the trannies: You ARE visible to the Risen Lord. He knows you, how you are and how He meant you to be. Please acknowledge Him today and let Him lead you into who He meant for you to be.
Nope, no sale, with your Alinsky Rule tactic, and, blasphemy, Mr Poser's Spokesman.
This regime has made it clear where their priorities lie.
Amen.
