- “Transgender Day of Visibility celebrates the joy, strength, and absolute courage of some of the bravest people I know — people who have too often had to put their jobs, relationships, and lives on the line just to be their true selves,” Biden said.
- “Today, we show millions of transgender and nonbinary Americans that we see them, they belong, and they should be treated with dignity and respect.”
- Biden’s proclamation comes days after the shooting at Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee, that resulted in the deaths of three children and three faculty members.
