Judge who allegedly said "being gay is an abomination to mankind" would like to keep judging mankind
If the measure of a good judge is impartiality, it’s probably best that Harriet Thompson remains off the bench.
The Brooklyn Surrogate Court judge was forced to step down last December pending allegations she used language denigrating people based upon their sexual identity and ethnicity. Details from a report by the Inspector General for New York are making the rounds now, and they aren’t good.
According to the NY Daily News, Thompson, who has still been enjoying her annual salary of $210,900 while not hearing cases, is alleged to have said, “I hate these gay white men” and “being gay is an abomination to mankind.” She also allegedly referred to an openly gay judge as “fat now, from all of the evil of what he’s doing.”
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
