LGBTQ North New Jersey

North New Jersey has no shortage of LGBT-friendly cities. Asbury Park, Lambertville and Ocean Grove to name a few. The LGBT community can find the most support in Jersey City, New Jersey. In fact, Jersey City, has been given the title of the “Queerest City in America” by LGBT Magazine.

The Garden State’s second biggest city has a number of lesbian bars, available LGBT bed and breakfast hosts, trans pride parades, festivals, and more. Jersey City also boasts the largest LGBT community in the state. Asbury Park was a sleepy little Jersey Shore community until the gay community discovered it and turned it into the bustling resort town that it is today. Asbury Park is experiencing a resurgence as visitors from New York and other big cities rediscover it as a fabulous weekend getaway.

Like any resort town, Asbury Park is most vibrant during the spring and summer seasons, but you’ll find a significant amount of active gay locals all year round. It won’t be hard to find gay-friendly venues in this vacation town.
