New York Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul ordered New York landmarks to light up pink, white, and blue on Easter Sunday to celebrate the the Biden administration’s Transgender Day of Visibility.
Hochul, as did the State Department, officially proclaimed March 31, 2024, as Transgender Day of Visibility. The day is dedicated to celebrate the transgender community’s achievements and contributions both within the Empire State and nationwide.
Hochul announced that several of New York State’s iconic landmarks will be illuminated in the transgender flag colors — light pink, white, and light blue. Among the landmarks set to be bathed in these hues are One World Trade Center, Kosciuszko Bridge, and Empire State Plaza. The list extends to include the State Fairgrounds, Niagara Falls, and the Lake Placid Olympic Center, among others.
