As we all celebrated Easter on Sunday, it was not the only holiday.
There was also the Transgender Day of Visibility, which began in 2010. However, few would've known about it if President Biden had not made a proclamation recently that got conservatives and Republicans up in arms over a mound of nothing.
I will freely admit that until Biden had spoken up on behalf of the transgender community, I didn't know this holiday existed. Republicans, however, have made it part of their culture war mission to disrespect and shame the LGBTQ+ community. Unlike Easter, the Transgender Day of Visibility has one consistent date, March 31. Easter, as fellow blogger Chuck Miller pointed out earlier today, falls three weeks later next year, on April 20.

It's the coincidental timing of Easter and the TDoV falling on the same day that has Republicans up in arms, whining, crying, and humiliating themselves because of their blatant, willful ignorance. Next year, they won't have the same argument, but they'll likely cry on Easter anyway, because of the alternate connotations of 4/20.......!
