City of Houston tweeted about their offices being closed tomorrow and couldn't even muster up the courage to mention Easter weekend, instead saying "Spring Holiday". Not sure what changed between last year and this year, but this is pretty pathetic.
This year:

Maybe wait until Easter Sunday to complain since that's when they posted it last year.

Sure, but calling good Friday spring Holiday is absolutely beyond ******ed, and I'm not even religious.

I don't see the big deal. It's also Passover so they give it a generic term.

We are just a few yrs behind the UK. I bet Christmas and Easter are virtually outlawed there in the next few years.

Does your local municipality's use of your preferred holiday language change how you celebrate that holiday?

No, I just hate seeing my culture and our traditions eroded becauise it might upset some pakistani who hates this country anyways. Not the end of the world or anything, doesn't affect my faith, just an annoyance or nuisance.

The suppression of Christianity has always been under the guise of separation of church and state….

FYI, this is the first year COH has closed offices for Good Friday, so it's not like this is something pre-existing that was changed.

They retweeted a message that said Happy Easter on Sunday. I guess we are postponing burning down city hall?

Why would he do that when he could get two full days of being offended?

It's just simply ret arded to call good Friday spring Holiday, a term that I'm fairly certain has never been used to describe good Friday until that reta rded tweet

This thread is the textbook definition of recreational outrage.
