Talk:Glenn Magpantay

Proposed edits to page

Hi there, I am hoping to add the edits below to Glenn Magpantay's page. I have sources for everything as well.

Under Career:

In February 2023, the United States Senate (majority) appointed him to the United States Commission on Civil Rights. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced his appointment as a Commission in the congressional record on February 13, 2023.  At the Commission, Magpantay investigates the enforcement of civil rights and advises Congress and the President on civil rights policy

Magpantay will be the first Commissioner of Filipino heritage since the Commission was created in 1957 and the first openly-gay Asian American Commissioner since the Eisenhower Administration.  His appointment was also supported by Congresswoman Grace Meng.

Magpantay helped create the Commission's statutory enforcement report on the Federal Response to Antiracism in the United States (2023).  The report covered anti-Asian hate crimes since the onset of the COVID-19. 

Under Personal Life:

They entered into a same-sex domestic partnership on Sept 17, 2005.  They were married in a civil ceremony on February 8, 2013 by State Supreme Court Justice Doris Ling-Cohan, who had originally struck down New York's Prohibition againstsame sex marriage in Hernandez v. Robles in 2004. Goeken and Magpantay amicably divorced in 2020, and co-parent their son Malcolm.

Let me know about these proposed edits. Thank you! Josephinekim39 (talk) 00:40, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
