After asserting on Easter that transgender people are “made in the image of God” and honouring the “Trans Day of Visibility” on one of the holiest days in Christianity, President Joe Biden and his administration have come under increasing fire.
Following Biden’s proclamation on Good Friday that “all Americans” should join in elevating “the lives and voices of transgender people throughout our Nation” and working towards “eliminating violence and discrimination based on gender identity,” reports stated that the “image” claim was made on the official White House X platform account.
The administration also caused issues when a press release announcing that it had banned overtly religious-themed Easter egg designs for an annual art contest before posting the following statement on Easter Sunday: “Today, on Transgender Day of Visibility, I have a simple message to all trans Americans: I see you. You are made in the image of God, and you’re worthy of respect and dignity.”
In response to Biden’s statement, actor Dean Cain said, “If people are made in the ‘image of God,’ then why are they getting so many surgeries and hormone treatments?”
“God made both males and females in his likeness when he created man. Gn 1:27,” stated Christina Pushaw, a communications assistant for DeSantis, as reported by The Daily Wire.
Tim Kennedy, a UFC fighter and soldier in the Army Special Forces, continued, “These aren’t mutually exclusive things.” I honour all beliefs, regardless of colour, gender, or religion, but today I honour Jesus’ resurrection.
Samuel Sey, a pro-life advocate, wrote: “If you really believed they were made in the image of God, you would encourage them to accept their God-ordained gender.”
Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump tore into his foes on Easter Sunday, particularly those running witch hunts against him.
“Happy Easter to all. Including crooked and corrupt prosecutors and judges that are doing everything possible to interfere with the presidential election of 2024, and put me in prison, including those many people that I completely & totally despise because they want to destroy America, a now failing nation, like ‘deranged’ Jack Smith, who is evil and ‘sick,’ Mrs. Fani (Fauni) Wade, who said she hardly knew the ‘special’ prosecutor, only to find that he spent years ‘loving’ her, long before the Georgia persecution of President Trump began (and thereby making the case against me null, void, and illegal!),” Trump posted on his Truth Social platform.
“And lazy on violet crime Alvin Bragg who, with crooked Joe’s DOJ thugs, unfairly working in the D.A.’s office, illegally indicted me on a case he never wanted to bring and virtually all legal scholars say is a case that should not be brought, is breaking the law in doing so (Pomerantz!), was turned down by all other law enforcement authorities, and is not a crime. Happy Easter everyone!” Trump wrote in another post.
