MORGANTOWN, West Virginia — Today, March 31, is Easter Sunday, a day commemorating the resurrection of Jesus from the dead, described in the New Testament as having occurred on the third day of his burial following his crucifixion by the Romans. As we all know, it’s a very sacred, important day to Christians all around the world.
However, “Transgender Day of Visibility” is celebrated annually on March 31st. Although “Transgender Day of Visibility” has been celebrated since 2009, many Christians believe that it’s disrespectful to celebrate transgender rights on Easter Day, even though Easter is celebrated on different days each year. In a post on social media, President Joe Biden said the following: “On Transgender Day of Visibility, we celebrate the joy, strength, and absolute courage of some of the bravest people I know.
Today, we show millions of transgender and nonbinary Americans that we seem them, they belong, and they should be treated with dignity and respect.”

Many people around the nation have expressed their disappointment and anger over Biden’s decision on social media. Garrett Greene, West Virginia’s starting quarterback and Christian, simply said the following in response to a tweet about Transgender Day of Visibility. Greene said, “Today is Easter Sunday.”
In a separate post, Greene went on to say, “He is Risen, Happy Easter y’all! Greatest day in the history of the world…” but God show his love for us in that while we are still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8″
Since Greene made the posts earlier today, he received a mix of support and disappointment from fans of the Mountaineers. Many supported Greene’s message, saying that today is Easter only, while others believe that Christians should be more inclusive of others.
