That's my entire point.

Again Biden is a seasoned enough pol that he KNOWS what kind of
reaction would be coming and therefore in my view both knows and
doesn't CARE. I cannot believe he has forgotten what day Sunday was.

As I said earlier, he's either ignorant or not caring of the feelings
of the predominant religion in America and whichever of the two it is

Or as a long time Catholic and church going Christian he doesn't have
the same feelings that you and BTR appear to think all Christians

significant number feel that we should be accepting of our fellow Gay
and Trans people.

Or he really needs the trans-folks to vote for him so he'll do ANYTHING
to win their support.

He needs the sort of people that would support trans people to vote
for him and doesn't need (or ever had a chance of getting) the votes
of those who are anti-trans.
