Fairfax County Observes Transgender Day of Visibility on Easter

The decision, unanimously voted by the Fairfax County Board, has sparked controversy among some community members.

Fairfax County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to observe Transgender Day of Visibility on Easter, March 31, this year.
Critics argue the decision offends Christians by aligning the observance with the holiest day on the Christian calendar.
Supporters emphasize the importance of recognizing and empowering the transgender community within Fairfax County.
The proclamation is seen as part of the board's moral responsibility to support all people, regardless of agreement.
The move comes amid broader national debates over transgender rights and legislation.
