The American people are taking note.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden posted on X Sunday honoring the new holiday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn Transgender Day of Visibility, we celebrate the joy, strength, and absolute courage of some of the bravest people I know,\u201d Biden wrote. \u201cToday, we show millions of transgender and nonbinary Americans that we see them, they belong, and they should be treated with dignity and respect.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After that, the criticism poured in.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is what Biden cares about and who he caters to. He is devaluing Easter and elevating trans recognition,\u201d U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. \u201cDownright shameful and despicable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The decision may backfire politically, and the Trump campaign quickly took the opportunity to blast Biden and call for him to apologize.<\/p>\n<p>One senator called for firing the person responsible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAside from being disgraceful and insulting to Christians, declaring a trans day of visibility on Easter Sunday is just *weird,*\u201d Sen. J.D. Vance, R-Ohio, wrote on X. \u201cThe White House should apologize. Then Biden should fire whoever is responsible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Next year, Easter, the Christian holiday celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ after his crucifixion, will be on April 20 and thus avoid the same conflict with the now official Transgender Day of Visibility, which will remain on March 31.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, on the White House\u2019s Spanish-speaking X account, they did not celebrate transgender visibility day but instead honored Easter and C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez Day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cApparently the White House fears that Spanish-speaking Americans might be offended by Biden\u2019s decision to conflate Easter with \u2018Transgender Day of Visibility\u2019 \u2013 perhaps to an even greater degree than English speakers,\u201d U.S. Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, wrote on X. \u201cMr. President: it\u2019s offensive to Christians \u2013 in all languages.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This post originally appeared at https:\/\/www.wisconsinrightnow.com\/shameful-president-biden-takes-fire-for-transitioning-easter\/ President Joe Biden is under fire after the White&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":871,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9973","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-wi-right-now"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9973","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9973"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9973\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9975,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9973\/revisions\/9975"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/871"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9973"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9973"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9973"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
