First Lady Melania Trump has decided to just totally ignore the so-called “trans day of visibility” — otherwise known as Easter Sunday, the day Jesus rose from the dead — and schedule an Easter Egg Roll event instead. How can you not love this woman? She’s amazing, truly.
Melania scheduled the event for April 21 and she will be the host. Tickets are free and distributed via an online lottery. Just one more step in undoing the mess that former President Joe Biden left during his time in office.
Easter is a religious holiday concerning the most important date in the faith and to put something as egregiously sinful and deplorable on the same day clearly shows malicious intent. It was a strange action to be taken by a supposed practicing Catholic.
“Today, we honor and celebrate the achievements and resiliency of transgender individuals and communities. Transgender Day of Visibility recognizes the generations of struggle, activism, and courage that have brought our country closer to full equality for transgender and gender non-binary people in the United States and around the world,” the White House stated at the time.
” Their trailblazing work has given countless transgender individuals the bravery to live openly and authentically,” the statement continued. ” This hard-fought progress is also shaping an increasingly accepting world in which peers at school, teammates and coaches on the playing field, colleagues at work, and allies in every corner of society are standing in support and solidarity with the transgender community.
“In spite of our progress in advancing civil rights for LGBTQ+ Americans, too many transgender people — adults and youth alike — still face systemic barriers to freedom and equality,” the White House release said. “Transgender Americans of all ages face high rates of violence, harassment, and discrimination. Nearly one in three transgender Americans have experienced homelessness at some point in life.”
“Transgender Americans continue to face discrimination in employment, housing, health care, and public accommodations. The crisis of violence against transgender women, especially transgender women of color, is a stain on our Nation’s conscience,” the White House statement said. “The Biden-Harris Administration is committed to fulfilling the promise of America for all Americans by stamping out discrimination and delivering freedom and equality for all.”
“To ensure that the Federal Government protects the civil rights of transgender Americans, I signed, on my first day in office, an Executive Order on Preventing and Combating Discrimination on the Basis of Gender Identity or Sexual Orientation,” Biden said, stirring up controversy. ” Today, we are proud to celebrate Transgender Day of Visibility alongside barrier-breaking public servants, including the first openly transgender American to be confirmed by the United States Senate, and alongside patriotic transgender service members, who are once again able to proudly and openly serve their country.”
Melania Trump’s decision to pretend like this order doesn’t exist is peak Trump family counter attack. And who better to host the whole shebang than Melania?
Here’s to hoping the children have a blast and the event is a great success.
