They are human beings. They love. They have feelings.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Biden added, &#8220;It just, to me, is, I don&#8217;t know, it&#8217;s cruel.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5123645\"><figcaption><\/figcaption>Joe Biden gives remarks to the Boys and Girls Club West San Gabriel Valley, Monterey Park, Calif. on March 14, 2023.

Because it blurs differences and the value of men and women.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;All humanity is the tension of differences. It is to grow through the tension of differences,&#8221; The pope did not stop. &#8220;The question of gender is diluting the differences and making the world the same, all dull, all alike, and that is contrary to the human vocation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> &#8230;..<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p> Continue reading more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/desantis-fires-back-after-biden-calls-floridas-trans-policies-cruel_5124712.html?utm_source=partner&#038;utm_campaign=conservnewsd\">DeSantis Fires Back After Biden Calls Florida&#8217;s Trans Policies \u2018Cruel&#8217;<\/a>&#8220;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11px\"><em>&#8220;The views and opinions expressed here are solely those of the author of the article and not necessarily shared or endorsed by Conservative News Daily&#8221;<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Florida Gov.
