    Clearly you do, since you started the thread about it. And I'd expect you to care about your preferred news source intentionally misleading you to generate political spin.

    Again, Biden didn't "call for it". The day will happen regardless of any statements form the White House, recognised all around the world. The US President isn't quite as all-powerful or influential as you simultaneously wish and fear.

    What exactly is un-Christian about the day (what it's actually about, not any fantasises you may have about it)? And how does a brief statement from the White House prevent anyone who wishes to focusing on the sacred holy day?

    Or do you believe the US President should spend 100% of his time and attention this weekend on solemn recognition of the sacrifice and resurrection of Jesus Christ, like this?

    It's because history time lines only go back to the point of their hypocrisy ;)

    Tell me more about how the Bible resonates with you.

    Deuteronomy 22:5
    King James Version

    5 The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the Lord thy God.

    Like everything else with people today, feelings and hurtful words are just convenient opportunities to play the poor me card.. If they were so hurt from their use they wouldn't use them so freely among themselves, theater, TV, websites, radio/music and in Public among select group gathering..

    FYI, Transgender Day of Visibility has always been the 31st of March, and this is internationally, not just in the US. Also, this is the fourth consecutive year Biden has proclaimed the commemorative day (because that's how commemorative days work, they are proclaimed by the president each individual year), and all four of those years those proclamations were on the 31st of March.

    Here's an article from the first year he made the commemorative proclamation

    (March 31st 2021)
    https://www.newsweek.com/trans-visibility-day-1580123

    Contrary to what some people want to believe, the proclamation doesn't mean they're being victimized

    Biden should show his true support by putting on a dress and makeup for the day and just maybe also kiss some dude on the lips....

    Seriously, what difference does it make. I'm Catholic and I go to church regularly, never has a priest made it an issue.

    Once again RWers go out of their way to make a fuss over something that has nothing to do with they.

    A lot of people consider the shortened word for "fornicate" to be profundity, and some forums (including this one) will even ban your account if you say it or post images of that word. Isn't it funny how language works?

    The word ‘tranny’ wasn’t regarded as a slur in the past. Presently, it used as a dehumanizing slur to describe transgender individuals and often is the last word a transgender person hears before they are brutally attacked. ‘Tranny’ is commonly used to humiliate and degrade transgender individuals.

    Who is blowing up? You seem to be blowing up over the Transgender Day of Visibility landing on the same day as Easter Sunday this year.

    I suppose most bigots are a prisoner of their learned prejudices and validate themselves by resorting to myths, double-standards and stereotypes. There seems to be a lot of Angry White Men on this thread.

    Don't forget that according to the Bible, one is an abomination for wearing mixed fabrics as well.

    It really is just provocation.

    That's how this entire political fragment works.

    Provoke the opposition, then claim the people are marginalized.

    It's such a juvenile behavior. Like the bully at school constantly poking and prodding at the nerd, and when the nerd lashes out... the bully becomes a victim.

    If you can't see how this is an intentional provocative action, you're being intentionally obtuse.

    Let's take gay pride month and have a conservative president make it "Religion Visibility Month"...

    You would lose your ****, and know that was intentional. Don't act like you wouldn't.

    A fine example of xenophobia.

    Yeah, choosing Easter to honor that which is distinctly contrary to God and reason is a mockery of God and of all who hold to the simple truth. It is part and parcel to the advancement of the homosexual movement. And is blasphemous in attempting to justify and exalt corruption on the most holy day in Christianity, which is the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

    Just another day at the right wing outrage machine.
    The trans visibility day is March 31st, it has been for 10 years now.
    The list of right wing propaganda that has intimidated or just flat out claimed that Biden picked this day is long.
    Are these people dumb, misinformed, or purposefully spreading misinformation.
    Steve N, as an early victim of this propaganda, what say you?

    Thus acknowledging that "Tranny" is the equivalent of the "N-Word"...
    Good lookin' out...

    President Joe Biden was slammed on social media Saturday by so-called Christians who lied that he was one designating Easter Sunday, the most solemn Christian holiday, as ‘Transgender Day of Visibility.’
    The date of Easter hops around each year – typically between March 22 and April 25. In short, the holiday falls on the first Sunday after the full Moon on or following the spring equinox. Western Christianity uses the Gregorian calendar. International Transgender Day of Visibility (often referred to as TDOV or Trans Day of Visibility) is an annual event occurring on March 31.

    Sounds like a perfect description of people who are prejudiced against trans people. Never met one that didn't fit the description.
