United States President Joe Biden has declared Easter Sunday
“Transgender Day of Visibility.”
The International Transgender Day of Visibility was created
on March 31, 2009, and has continued to be celebrated every March 31.
The day was created to honour transgender people and raise
awareness of the discrimination they continue to face.
However, the White House disclosed that Biden’s declaration
was backed by the US Constitution.
According to Biden: “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
towards eliminating violence and discrimination based on gender identity.”
Since its inception, the Biden administration has made LGBT
activism a cornerstone of its policy priorities. He boasted in his statement
that he appointed transgender leaders to his administration and ended the ban
on transgender Americans serving openly in the military.
In the past, some of Biden’s transgender inclusivity events
at the White House have backfired.
Meanwhile, LGBTQ – Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and
Queer – people have been warned to stay out of Nigeria.
This warning was issued by the spokesperson of the Nigerian
Police Force, Muyiwa Adejobi.
Adejobi warned that the police would be going after such
people in Nigeria.
He said LBGTQ members seen in the trending “Of Course”
challenge would not find Nigeria a comfort zone, describing them as
“criminals.”
There has been a trending video showing alleged members of
the LBGTQ community describing who they are and what people think of them.
