Merrick native Paul G. Feinman, the first openly gay judge on New York's highest court and a generous legal mentor to scores of young lawyers, died Wednesday after a yearslong battle with a blood disorder, state officials announced. He was 61 and lived on Roosevelt Island.
Feinman, who joined the New York Court of Appeals in 2017, retired from the court on March 23 to deal with his illness.
"Judge Feinman was a tireless and resolute champion of LGBTQ rights, a trailblazing pioneer for LGBTQ lawyers and judges and an incredibly dedicated mentor who inspired countless judges, attorneys and law students," New York's Chief Judge Janet DiFiore said in a statement announcing his death. "Judge Feinman was the essence of personal and professional integrity, decency and civility. No one who knew Judge Feinman could be unmoved by his personal warmth and empathy, good humor and sparkling intelligence. He was a singular human being who has left a proud and enduring legacy for all of us."
When Feinman was tapped by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo to serve on the state’s highest court — a watershed moment for gay New Yorkers — he called his longtime friend Tom Schuler, of Harlem, to tell him the news.

Unless you're a hardline leftist liberal gay turd and then the rules no longer apply. At least he likely got it in his end finally.

How about it just read...
Paul G. Feinman judge on New York’s court died Wednesday.
Judicial philosophy, significant rulings, courtroom demeanor.
Who cares? What is important is what he did in the bedroom.
Can this society get any sicker? I fear the answer is probably — yes.
“As his career progressed, he was like a mentor to many gays and lesbians who wanted to become judges,” said Schuler, who recalled people he had helped saying “ ‘Your friend Feinman is the best, he really gives the best advice.’ “
One might be tempted to ask, what ulterior motives could an open homosexual have to be a judge other than to push forward the agenda of the so called “community”? I suggest “normal” folks would expect nothing less. I also suggest closeted homosexuals were always better at performing their duties when not driven by the activism of openness.
If they desire a tribal system of communities let them find a State of confusion to live in and start their own legal system instead of polluting ours. Just my humble opinion, or is it closer to fact than the fictional world of gay he lived in for a time.
Maybe he ate a bad wiener.
Here come da judge, here come da judge.
Good riddance.
RIP.
It's always a scandal that a man openly guilty of crimes against nature is allowed to become a judge and pervert justice itself.
