He has spent twenty-five years as a member or president of the Howard Volunteer Fire Company 14, and also actively volunteers as a fire fighter, emergency medical technician, and rescue technician. In July 2022 he voted against the Respect for Marriage Act, which would codify the right to same-sex marriage, which was criticized by opponents for being just days before attending his own gay son’s same-sex wedding. Glenn William “GT” Thompson Jr is an American politician serving as the U.S. representative for Pennsylvania’s 15th congressional district since 2019. A member of the Republican Party, he was first elected to Congress in 2008 for the state’s 5th congressional district; Thompson was redistricted to the 15th congressional district in the 2018 election by an order of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. Since 2021, he serves as the ranking member of the House Agriculture Committee. At the start of the 115th Congress, Thompson was named vice-chairman of the House Committee on Agriculture. In December 2020, ahead of the 117th Congress, he was named ranking member of the agriculture committee. In December 2020, Thompson was one of 126 Republican members of the House of Representatives who signed an amicus brief in support of Texas v. Pennsylvania, a lawsuit filed at the United States Supreme Court contesting the results of the 2020 presidential election, in which Joe Biden prevailed over incumbent Donald Trump. The Supreme Court declined to hear the case on the basis that Texas lacked standing under Article III of the Constitution to challenge the results of the election held by another state. Kale Thompson and Phil Green got married in Pennsylvania in July 2022. Their wedding triggered controversy after they confirmed that Thompson’s Congressman father attended after opposing gay marriage protections. Republican Glenn ‘GT’ Thompson was accused of hypocrisy. In his wedding speech, he spoke of his joy that Kale had found his ‘one true love’. But days earlier he voted against the Respect for Marriage Act ‘This bill was nothing more than an election-year messaging stunt for Democrats,’ said his office in explaining his vote.
