Fairfax County Democrats Designate Easter Sunday as ‘Transgender Visibility Day’

Critics argued that the decision makes Christian residents feel that their holy day is being desecrated.

Fairfax County of Virginia will celebrate “Transgender Visibility Day” on the upcoming Easter Sunday, in what critics call a deliberate mockery of their Christian beliefs.

In a 9-0 vote, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors at its March 19 meeting approved a proclamation declaring March 31 as Transgender Visibility Day. County Board Chairman Jeff McKay, a Democrat, said the decision was the board’s “moral responsibility to stand up for all people, not just the people we like or the people we agree with.”
