President Joe Biden is sparking fury nationwide, including reactions from both Donald Trump and Caitlyn Jenner, after declaring Easter Sunday as Transgender Day of Visibility, a day of awareness to celebrate the successes of transgender and gender-nonconforming people.

On Friday (March 29), President Biden proclaimed that on this year’s Easter Sunday, which falls on March 31, 2024, America will also celebrate Transgender Day of Visibility. However, it should be noted that since 2009, March 31 has been the designated day for Transgender Day of Visibility, it just so happens that this year Easter Sunday falls on the same day.
In an official statement, the Prez stated, “On Transgender Day of Visibility, we honor the extraordinary courage and contributions of transgender Americans and reaffirm our Nation’s commitment to forming a more perfect Union — where all people are created equal and treated equally throughout their lives.”

Biden added, “I am proud that my Administration has stood for justice from the start, working to ensure that the LGBTQI+ community can live openly, in safety, with dignity and respect. I am proud to have appointed transgender leaders to my Administration and to have ended the ban on transgender Americans serving openly in our military. I am proud to have signed historic Executive Orders that strengthen civil rights protections in housing, employment, health care, education, the justice system, and more. I am proud to have signed the Respect for Marriage Act into law, ensuring that every American can marry the person they love.”
Biden’s statement, which appears on the White House website, continued, “Today, we send a message to all transgender Americans: You are loved. You are heard. You are understood. You belong. You are America, and my entire Administration and I have your back. 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. 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.”

Immediately reacting to Joe Biden’s proclamation, prominent politicians, Christians, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and more flooded social media platforms with criticism and feedback. Donald Trump, former President and presumptive GOP presidential nominee for 2024, condemned the announcement. Trump claimed the proclamation is just another part of the Biden administration’s “years-long assault on the Christian faith.”
Via his national press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, Donald Trump stated, “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 the 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.”
Caitlyn Jenner, who has transitioned from the male-born Olympic athlete Bruce Jenner, also reacted, taking to her X account (formerly Twitter). Caitlyn Jenner wrote, “I am absolutely disgusted that Joe Biden has declared the most Holy of Holy days – a self-proclaimed devout Catholic – as Transgender Day of Visibility. The only thing you should be declaring on this day is ‘HE is Risen’.”
