Governor of New York Kathy Hochul has appointed the United States’ first openly transgender male judge. On 7 June, the democratic official announced the 11 new appointments and four reappointments of the New York State Court of Claims.

One of the new individuals to join the aforementioned court is Seth Marnin, who is currently serving as the Director of Training & Education, Equal Opportunity & Affirmative Action at Columbia University.

Marnin’s appointment makes him the country’s first openly male trans judge and the first trans judge in the state of New York.  “I have full faith that this historic and outstanding group of appointees will serve New Yorkers with fairness and impartiality,” Hochul said in a press release. “With diverse perspectives and extensive expertise, I’m confident that each appointee will bring honor and integrity to New York State’s judiciary.”  Shortly after the news made headlines, Marnin opened up to Gay City News about making LGBTQ+ and American history.  “I am honored by the Governor’s appointment and look forward to the Senate hearing tomorrow,” he told the publication on 7 June.  “It was not so long ago that a trans person becoming a judge was unimaginable.

I hope my nomination and service inspires young trans people and that I can serve as a role model.”  Before getting appointed as a judge for the New York State Court of Claims, Marnin cultivated an extensive resume within the legal field.

History! That’s what this U.S. Supreme Court accomplished last Friday with its most recent decision toward the LGBTQ+ protected class. It’s the first time in history that a Supreme Court, despite the composition of its members, has restricted rights and benefits to a protected class instead of granting them more. The Supreme Court, throughout history, has been a tent to extend the interpretation of federal laws to give more rights and include more protected classes within them. Despite the immobility of Congress and the difficulties of getting new bills to become federal law, the Supreme Court has always found a way to create more jurisprudence to benefit vulnerable populations. Until now, unfortunately.
