Sure, we’re famous for having a governor who is also a “gay American,” yet it’s taken the New York Blade this long to herald New Jersey’s conspicuously gay advantages…
Steven Goldstein is the well-known founding chair of Garden State Equality, New Jersey’s LGBT rights organization. He is also a New York City native — Brooklyn born, raised in Queens, Manhattan educated, and spent most of his adult life in the city.
But when New Jersey passed the domestic partnership law in 2004, that was all it took. He and his partner traded up their Brooklyn Heights apartment for a Teaneck, N.J., home.
“I have grown up being as much of a New York City chauvinist as anyone else, and I can tell you that we could not be happier living in New Jersey,” said Goldstein, whose partner still commutes to lower Manhattan for work.
He named Jersey City, Maplewood, South Orange, Morristown and Plainfield City as several communities among many that may interest New York commuters. Collingswood, N.J., was also recently listed in a book called “50 Fabulous Gay-friendly Places to Live” by Gregory A. Kompes.
Yet another list Montclair didn’t make. Damn Maplewood! Mocking us with your resort-quality pool wasn’t bad enough? Now you’re enticing all those home-improving, restaurant-opening, property-value-raising gay couples away from us. Could it be that the aesthetically-challenged Crisco is doing more damage than we think? Hmmm…
West Orange’s lesbian residents seem to be increasing in numbers to boot.
Had the “Blade” done its research, it may also have concluded that Collingswood (or “Colls,” as we residents call it) is located approximately 90 miles southwest of Manhattan. That translates to 10 minutes from Philadelphia. A little tough for NYC commuters, no?
I view this as a happy accident, though. Hopefully this will discourage obnoxious New Yorkers of ALL stripes to stay well north of Trenton.
Just read lance from InSync just came out of the closet.
Lance Bass wasn’t out of the closet before now?? Come on.
any lesbians out there PLEASE READ THIS:
i am a straight male new to the montclair area looking for two or more lesbians to come over to my apartment to sleep with me. i have some cash.
i am having trouble finding lesbians who want to do this and I am frankly getting a little tired of coming up empty on this one!
email me!!!!
Our own corner of the Brookdale section of Bloomfield is home to a lesbian contingent. Poor Bloomfield is constantly overlooked in these “vying for hipness” threads. Maybe it’s our lack of a decent downtown? Anyway, no complaints, love the diversity, wish Bloomfield had an indie bookstore or two, like, sigh, Montclair, or even a chain.
Uh, norton… wrong website. If you can’t find a place on the internet to book a pair of hookers to come over for a 3-way, you’re just not looking very hard.
Gays inhabit nearly every corner of NNJ in significant numbers. Like everyone else,we’ve pretty much been priced out of NYC these days. We still go to work, the shows, the bars, the restuarants, etc. there, but we live there less and less.
Yes, for some reason, Montclair doesn’t get the press of South Orange/Maplewood for being gay friendly. As a gay family, we actually choose to move from NYC to this area because of Montclair’s diversity. We know numerous gay and lesbians who live in this community. While we didn’t find a house in Montclair, we found one in Glen Ridge 8 years ago and have never had a problem. We personally know of 6 other gay families who live in Glen Ridge. Add in the gay and lesbian families/people we know in Bloomfield, Montclair and Verona area and yikes, there is a gay and lesbian Baristanet community!
Yes. Shouldn’t there be one?
