Biden's Proclamation
Joe Biden issued an official proclamation declaring that transgender Americans "shape our nation's soul" and established a holiday relating to the group this week.
Biden issued the proclamation Thursday to mark March 31, 2023, as the Transgender Day of Visibility, a day some transgender activists have renamed to "day of vengeance."
"Transgender Americans shape our Nation's soul -- proudly serving in the military, curing deadly diseases, holding elected office, running thriving businesses, fighting for justice, raising families, and much more," Biden wrote in the Thursday morning proclamation.
"Today, many transgender Americans are still denied…rights and freedoms," Biden's statement continued. "A wave of discriminatory state laws is targeting transgender youth, terrifying families and hurting kids who are not hurting anyone. An epidemic of violence against transgender women and girls, has taken lives far too soon."
Biden's statement went on to tout what he outlined as his administration's efforts in supporting the American transgender community. Biden also pointed to his decision to allow transgender people to serve in the military once again, as well as his efforts to include what he described as "gender markers" on U.S. passports.
Several states, including West Virginia and most recently Kentucky, have joined together with nine other states in banning or restricting transgender surgeries and other transforming procedures for minors — something Biden and his administration have attacked as being discriminatory and cruel.
- Father we choose to respect the dignity of all people; but we will not accept lies and ridiculous statements, such as Biden’s latest, that contradict reality and our Christian beliefs and might cause some to stumble. God and Father, we humbly ask that You remove Biden and restore what the locusts have eaten in our nation and in Biden’s life, as we repent. We have no king but Jesus—it is He who truly shapes our nation’s soul. May He deliver us from evil.
We praise You that eleven states have legislation banning or restricting transgender surgeries and other care for minors and that nearly two dozen other states are considering bills that would restrict or ban transgender medical treatments. May these bills be quickly passed to protect our children--families—society; and may the rest of our 50 states soon follow.
Blanket our nation even more with Your word and Your salvation. May the truth be told and true justice reign. Thank You, Lord God, that by Your mercy revival is upon us in the midst of evil and chaos; and the harvest will be gathered in.
- "He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.” Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus! (Revelation 22:20)
