Fairfax County declares Trans Visibility Day on significant Christian holiday.
A Virginia county unanimously voted to observe its Transgender Day of Visibility this year on Easter Sunday – a move some critics see as 'intentionally trying to offend Christians on the holiest of days.' The Fairfax Board of Supervisors voted 9-0 in favor of the proclamation last week, with one board member, Republican Supervisor Patrick Herrity, absent.
'm just very happy that we're recognizing a community that has too often been pushed into the shadows and celebrating yet another community within our diverse tapestry here in Fairfax County,' Supervisor Jimmy Bierman, a Democrat, said during the vote. Bierman, one of the nine members who requested the proclamation, added the county wants 'to make sure that everybody who's a part of our community feels welcomed, feels loved and feels empowered.
