The White House has issued a response to Republican criticism regarding President Biden's proclamation recognizing March 31 as Transgender Day of Visibility, coinciding with Easter this year. GOP figures accused Biden of undermining faith by acknowledging both events on the same day, prompting the White House to defend the president's commitment to unity and the dignity of all Americans.
