First openly-gay High Court judge?

edit

Terence Etherton was appointed as a judge of the High Court (Chancery Division) in January 2001. Was Etherton not openly gay when appointed? Ntmr (talk) 15:38, 28 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

I have found a reliable source for the proposition that Terence Etherton and not Adrian Fulford was the first openly gay High Court Judge, and have corrected the article accordingly. I would suggest that BBC News is more likely to be correct than Pink News, and, in any event, the facts speak for themselves: Etherton was appointed on 11 January 2001 and Fulford on 21 November 2002. I suspect that the appointment of Fulford to the QBD may have been more high profile in that Etherton was appointed to the Chancery Division, which deals with Company Law, Property Law, Trust Law, etc., whereas judges who are appointed to the QBD of the HC deal (among other things) with important criminal trials in the Crown Court.Ntmr (talk) 16:44, 20 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
