Intercessor, did you know that President Biden proclaimed March 31, Resurrection Sunday, to be the Transgender Day of Visibility?
International Transgender Day of Visibility, more commonly known as Transgender Day of Visibility or Trans Day of Visibility, was created by biologically male activist Rachel Crandall Crocker in 2009. Since then, trans activists have promoted and celebrated this event on March 31st every year. President Biden made history as the first president to formally recognize this day. He has issued proclamations celebrating this day every year since he took office in 2021.
This year, however, Biden has faced controversy due to the timing of the event. In 2024, Transgender Day of Visibility coincided with Easter Sunday. He chose to celebrate the event this year, despite the fact that LGBT people already have well over a third of the calendar year dedicated to them.
What do you think of this proclamation? We will be praying about it later today on Headline Prayer Live. Make sure you don’t miss it!
For reference, here is the full text of Biden’s Proclamation, taken from the official website of The White House:
A Proclamation on Transgender Day of Visibility, 2024
On Transgender Day of Visibility, we honor the extraordinary courage and contributions of transgender Americans and reaffirm our Nation’s commitment to forming a more perfect Union — where all people are created equal and treated equally throughout their lives.
I am proud that my Administration has stood for justice from the start, working to ensure that the LGBTQI+ community can live openly, in safety, with dignity and respect. I am proud to have appointed transgender leaders to my Administration and to have ended the ban on transgender Americans serving openly in our military. I am proud to have signed historic Executive Orders that strengthen civil rights protections in housing, employment, health care, education, the justice system, and more. I am proud to have signed the Respect for Marriage Act into law, ensuring that every American can marry the person they love.
Transgender Americans are part of the fabric of our Nation. Whether serving their communities or in the military, raising families or running businesses, they help America thrive. They deserve, and are entitled to, the same rights and freedoms as every other American, including the most fundamental freedom to be their true selves. But extremists are proposing hundreds of hateful laws that target and terrify transgender kids and their families — silencing teachers; banning books; and even threatening parents, doctors, and nurses with prison for helping parents get care for their children. These bills attack our most basic American values: the freedom to be yourself, the freedom to make your own health care decisions, and even the right to raise your own child. It is no surprise that the bullying and discrimination that transgender Americans face is worsening our Nation’s mental health crisis, leading half of transgender youth to consider suicide in the past year. At the same time, an epidemic of violence against transgender women and girls, especially women and girls of color, continues to take too many lives. Let me be clear: All of these attacks are un-American and must end. No one should have to be brave just to be themselves.
At the same time, my Administration is working to stop the bullying and harassment of transgender children and their families. The Department of Justice has taken action to push back against extreme and un-American State laws targeting transgender youth and their families and the Department of Justice is partnering with law enforcement and community groups to combat hate and violence. My Administration is also providing dedicated emergency mental health support through our nationwide suicide and crisis lifeline — any LGBTQI+ young person in need can call “988” and press “3” to speak with a counselor trained to support them. We are making public services more accessible for transgender Americans, including with more inclusive passports and easier access to Social Security benefits. There is much more to do. I continue to call on the Congress to pass the Equality Act, to codify civil rights protections for all LGBTQI+ Americans.
Today, we send a message to all transgender Americans: You are loved. You are heard. You are understood. You belong. You are America, and my entire Administration and I have your back.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim March 31, 2024, as Transgender Day of Visibility. I call upon all Americans to join us in lifting up the lives and voices of transgender people throughout our Nation and to work toward eliminating violence and discrimination based on gender identity.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-ninth day of March, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-eighth.
JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR.

Father God Almighty, I thank you for understanding of seed time and harvest. Let all know and understand the sudden flowering of every social aberration in the media and before our eyes is a desperate attempt to spread into the land. Apply prayer to the issue that the pollination like the lifestyle will fail to produce. Amen
I ask you President Biden why are you granting special rights to special people the Constitution already grants? Why are you using Social Security for this?
I am appalled at the presidents decision, I pray for God to convict him of his error in thinking. God is in control still and the Bible still holds true. Hallelujah Jesus Christ, Honor to the Father and the Holy Spirit.
Biden did this on purpose! The best thing we can do is make sure he is out of office in November! Keep praying and working to get him out! He is the most evil president to date! More evil than obama? Maybe a tie! FATHER GOD let this November election remove the entire biden administration from office with all of their wickedness in JESUS NAME! Amen!
I just pray biden gets saved before he leaves this earth! He thinks he is flying high, but he has a judgement day coming! Saints please keep biden and his entire crew in prayer for salvation! FATHER GOD please send laborers to biden and his entire administration for salvation! Let them then serve YOU in spirit and in truth and let go of their evil ways in JESUS NAME! Amen!
Shame on Biden and his ungodly approval of this offense to God’s Word. What kind of CATHOLIC believer is he? Why does he bother to go to church? He knows nothing of the Word of God. He sickens me.
Biden like Obama just paid lip service to the idol of choice. We continue to pray for a turning before they are given over to the one they serve completely
Soros and Clinton are in line…
Father God,
I repent on behalf of this nation of dishonoring You and all You are and have done for us. This pronouncement by Joe Biden is an intentional slap in the face to Father God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Deliver us Lord, from this wickedness in the White House that defames You. I pray for Your sovereign rule, and Your ways , Your laws to be honored and reinstated in our government and especially those in the White House. I pray for Your holy plans and purpose for this nation and Your creation to be fulfilled to the fullest and for Your light and love to shatter all lies and deception.. Have mercy oh Lord and reverse the curse this pronouncement places on upon our nation. This does not represent You or Your Family or Your Country. Forgive us and use us to bring healing and truth to those in need and to our nation in general. Teach us Your ways. Manifest Your Love and presence shattering the lies and strongholds of the demonic realm. Set the captives free so they can be all You created them to be. In Jesus name.
Amen
Beautiful prayer.
It was wholly inappropriate to have a transgender day of celebration on the same day as Easter Sunday. There are so many special times and days for this group of people and yet they are a small portion of our population. Everyone should be respected and equal in the USA and even all over the world. Many transgender people have mental health problems and we need to pray for their healing and salvation. Easter has been around for a long time and many people celebrate this special day. Easter should take priority over another transgender celebration day.
From Charlie Kirk@charliekirk11:
Democrats say Trump supporters are “a cult” when they themselves:
Celebrate genital mutilation on Christianity’s holiest day.
Ban religious themed artwork on Easter Eggs at the White House.
Pass child kidnapping laws for parents who don’t believe their child was born in the wrong body.
Push literal gay porn on kids in school libraries.
Would rather cut off a child’s healthy body parts than deal with trauma.
Invite topless “trans influencers” to the White House.
Cheer on predatory men who dress like half-naked women in front of toddlers.
Fly Pride flags at our sacred buildings and our embassies around the world.
Amen
I do not support LBGQT+ EVIL.
I am kind and courteous to everyone, even those I disagree with. I cannot support anything that is displeasing to God. That puts me in the “extremists” category. God sees all this is happening and will judge us all according to our deeds and actions.
I support the word of God and carry His message. I give actions of others to God. I also defend God’s word.
I think the man is deranged. That is a slap in the face to Christians. I’m all about love but also about truth!
Yes, I was aware of the Proclamation. I find it both trampling on the Word of God as well as an intentional act of evil.
While some will be forgiven for they know not what they do; some do know what they “do” and continue to “do” it with corruption, with conscience and with malice. Dive into the “Report on the Biden Laptop” – I can’t nor would I include the information in this report on this or any other media- suffice it to say it is quite revealing on the entire clan. Draw your own conclusions.
Do not be deceived with the “un-American State laws” that by the way are standing on the tenets of God – it is gaslighting – “attempts to sow seeds of doubt in the target. It is used to make you question your memory, your perception, and your own sanity.” In summary, Psychology Today defines it as “a tactic in which a person or entity, in order to gain power, makes a victim question their reality.” Erwin Lutzer: We will not be Silenced.
The “power” in this case is to garner votes for election: it is not to “ bring the country together”, it actually is divisive and it supports the leftist agenda of the lgbtq community. Quite cunning.
LORD, I Thank You that You are all powerful, all loving , all knowing and all over Your creation. There is no place where You are not in Your creation, there is no power that equals Yours, there is no love greater than Yours and there is no one thaT equals Your wisdom.
Father, in this age of degradation, divisiveness and disgust, I call out to You, my strength from Heaven , to give me the boldness to stand watch, to speak with confidence and to open my eyes to see what You see. Jesus did not lower the standard, He held to biblical doctrine. As Paul to the Ephesians said,
“ Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience”. Ephesians 5:6. Let me not be deceived..
I pray this in the Holy and Eternal name of Jesus.
Judy and Lori, in your interview this morning on this subject you discussed the roots of this proclamation, its significance. I think it is deeper even than a worship of self or self-indulgence. I think it is a direct and blasphemous poke in God’s eye: a rejection of Him and all that He stands for:
“God, whatever you say we oppose and defy. Whatever you make we will destroy. If you say we are made in your image and there are only two genders (Genesis 1) we say we will have as many as genders as we want. We reject your word, your truth, your authority.
God, if you say you determine our identity and it is grounded in who you say we are physically– you are a boy. You are a girl–WE say we will be whatever we want to be. If you say we are female we will choose to be male. If you say we are male we choose to be female. We reject who you say we are and flip it. We choose to rebel against your authority, your revelation, your rule over us. Whatever you say we will defy, hold in contempt, and spit upon. We will disconnect from our identity as you designed us and by doing so will disconnect from you and any claim or role you have in our lives. WE WILL NOT HAVE YOU AS GOD OVER US!
I do not mean each person consciously chooses this position but the spirit goading them with rejection, dissatisfaction, and self-loathing wants this outcome–their destruction.
Thank you contributors to IFA
I learned something new about the eunuchs and how to pray for them. Again thank you so much 🙏
Lord, forgive them for they do not know what they are doing. Restore the spirit of the fear of the Lord upon this nation, may the fire of the Holy Spirit come upon your people. Forgive our sins.
“But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.” 2 Timothy 3: 1-5 Praying Father God for Your strength and discernment to walk in Your holiness and truth, to lead the lost to Your love & forgiveness, to turn their hardened hearts to You Jesus for Salvation. In Your Glorious, Victorious, Redemptive Name I pray. Amen.
Honestly when I first heard it, I was angered. Then I prayed. Transgenders ARE loved by God and should be loved by us and prayed for. I sent a message to President Biden through the White House correspondence. I do not believe this should have been assigned to Easter. But all the “gray” areas are leaving and becoming “black” or “white”….. no more lukewarm…. Hot or cold, as spoken of in Revelations. God vs. enemy. I agree with the above prayer and to Dutch Sheets’ decree that God is dispersing a “SEEING ANOINTING” upon the people of America. Eyes wide open.
You are right. We are seeing a line between light and darkness. I pray God may shed his light on those who are lost in darkness and may we love those who are lost in sin and pray for them.
This date and day were proclaimed in 2009 and has been recognized by other Presidents. That being said, the celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus should always be first and foremost on our leaders’ minds come Easter weekend. And more than an egg hunt for children. The “Easter Bunny” should have made that perfectly clear to our President. I pray that President Biden return to his Christian values and lead our country to a reunification of family values, love and respect for all. Amen!
I think that for a nation founded on Judeo Christian values to honor the people committing sin by denying their God given sex is an ABOMINATION!
Other kings in presidents throughout history have declared things that are contrary to God the greatest well-known one was nebuchadnezza it was only after a period of time of him absolutely losing his mind eating grass his nails growing in feathers upon him that he looked up and said heaven rules there have been decorations made under the threat of death throughout history that if anybody prayed to any of a god other than the supposed God that they had set up would be thrown into a fiery furnace well there has also been in history those who have stood up against that which was evil at whatever the cost that might be the proclamation of this great president of America but as a Christian we know heaven rules not the leaders of this world so we should not be surprised at these wicked declarations that are opposed to the living God we are all here but a very short time forever is forever the president is a very old man right now he has almost 30 years on me and yes I could pass away before him but if the Lord Jesus Christ who is king of kings and Lord of lords in rules over all allows me to live then in the normal event of time allotted to us which is a short time the president will leave this world like we all do and he will like all stand before the living God who is Jesus Christ who is king of kings and Lord of lords his time on this Earth is short let’s pray that he comes to repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ before he leaves this world as for those he threatens us with to do us harm because we do not agree with his wicked decisions the Lord Jesus Christ the son of God will deal with them also so as Christians let us continue to hope in the Lord and in his protection even in the face of evil may the Lord give us strength not to shrink back from their threats Jesus is Lord
This really shouldn’t surprise the church, as in the days of Noah!! Father God forgive them because they don’t know what they are doing by endorsing depravity!
THe man is sick . Pray for him that is finds peace with the Lord Jesus before he leaves this earth .
