LGBT in New Jersey
In celebration of the historic ruling by SCOTUS for same-sex marriage on Friday, and June being National LGBT month, I decided to start working on a LGBT section of NewJerseyIsntBoring.com. If you have ANYTHING to contribute…please email me at newjerseyisntboring@gmail.com
I’m still in the early stages, but here are a few resources for you:
Garden State Equality
Garden State Equality is New Jersey’s statewide advocacy and education organization for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community.
The Pride Center of New Jersey
The Pride Center of New Jersey, Inc. has been fulfilling the support and social needs of thousands of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex people since first opening its doors in 1994. A fast-growing community center located in Highland Park, The Pride Center provides a “safe space” for the LGBTIQ community: a place to learn about our community from a vast array of resources, a place to socialize and meet new friends, and a place to gain acceptance and understanding of your gender and sexual identity in a comfortable setting.The Pride Center offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere and a knowledgeable and helpful staff. Whether New Jersey’s LGBTIQ community is new or familiar to you, The Pride Center is a place to call home and return to again and again.
