Governor Hochul Issues Proclamation Celebrating Transgender Day of VisibilityGovernor Kathy Hochul today issued a proclamation declaring March 31, 2024 Transgender Day of Visibility, celebrating the trans community in New York State and across the country. The Governor also announced that New York State landmarks will be lit light pink, white and light blue tomorrow, March 31, in celebration of Transgender Day of Visibility.
“Today we celebrate Transgender Day of Visibility by acknowledging the contributions that members of the transgender community have made in New York State and across the country,” Governor Hochul said. “I am proud of the strength transgender New Yorkers display every day and want to make one thing clear: you are always welcome in New York. You are loved.”

Transgender Day of Visibility was started in 2009 by an activist who chose the date of March 31. It is not a federally mandated day of observance such as Vietnam Veterans Day. Joe Biden and Democrat officials have decided to observe Transgender Day of Visibility on Easter Sunday this year rather than push it off for a day out of respect for Easter.
