He had a choice to declare Transgender Day of Visibility Transgender Day of Visibility. The fact that it occurred on Easter is a coincidence.

I have to say you usually seem to try to avoid it, Tom, but sometimes you really do read like a parody. It can be hilarious sometimes. At any rate it's literally impossible to take you seriously in this case, I hope you understand.

It looks to me like he had a choice to declare this Easter a trans day and decided to do so. The argument that he didn't do this is clearly false.

A link to the actual proclamation would have helped.

https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2024/03/29/a-proclamation-on-transgender-day-of-visibility-2024/

I'm curious if he did it on the one last year.

Oh, he did.

So you'll forgive me if I don't take this seriously.  Sounds like he does it every year.  Not his fault the chuch decided to make Easter a floating holiday.

Apparently there are LGBT days every week: https://glaad.org/reference/calendar/

It was absolutely Joe Biden's decision to issue a presidential proclamation that Easter Day was transgender day. It just happened to be that day. If it was International Lesbian Day he would have proclaimed that instead. He had a choice not to do this, but he did it anyway.

Joe Biden has not issued presidential proclamations for each of those many LGBT days on that page. There are not weekly presidential proclamations for the gay day of the week. He chose to emphasize this Easter one.

It has nothing to do with April Fools Day. Like the link points out, this trans day is on March 31st every year. It wasn't Biden's decision to put it on the same day as Easter to distract from the holiday or anything.

Wow, I hadn't heard that he did this.

Because he didn't.  The RNC is really bad at april fools jokes.  And you're really bad at spotting them.

It's an admission that they don't have a real eclipse prediction method based on modern RE theories and are still using the Saros Cycle, an ancient pattern-based eclipse predicting scheme created by a society of Flat Earthers.

Can you show the FE method of predicting eclipse paths?

If the Saros cycles originated with a culture adhering to a Flat Earth system, and that is what predicts the paths, then that is the FE method.
