I would say I'd be willing to go out far that is if Asbury Park has everything nearby then it's no problem for me :)

Many towns are LGBTQ friendly.
My friend's daughter and her wife live in Maplewood.

Thank you I probably wasn't looking hard enough for the LGBTQ friendly towns but I appreciate you telling me. Aww that's very nice! I will look more into Maplewood I am just worried it borders Irvington and Newark.

My daughter went to Seton Hall and rented in Maplewood for a few years, it's a cute town.

I visit South Orange every few days because I really love the town it's so cute! I haven't visited Maplewood that much but I will add it to my list.

When you say lgbtq friendly are you looking for an area that has a known larger population of lgbtq people living there or just that the residents are “tolerant”? I think that most areas (at least in north jersey) are lgbtq friendly. Also, just felt the need to say that it’s almost 2023 and it’s fucked up that people still have to worry about where they live just because of who they choose to love.

Yes that's what I exactly meant with a known larger population and where residents are tolerant. Unfortunately in Newark people aren't so tolerant of it despite it being somewhat a population of gay people, that's one of the reasons I just want to move away from Newark because my family isn't very tolerant of it. Your absolutely correct I just happened to check and turns out North Jersey does have the most lgbtq friendly towns!

Yeah despite having a population and resources Newark is indeed not LGBTQ friendly. Would recommend checking into jersey city, maplewood/south orange, Asbury park, Montclair, etc

I agree and I've been to Montclair several times just only the lower part of the township. As for south orange I visited there today it's so beautiful! Never been to Asbury park or Jersey City but I will look into those thank you!

Montclair is supposed to be pretty LGBTQ friendly. They have a very active LGBTQ group in town from what I've heard.

Thank you I will look into that :)

How far are you willing to go? It’s south, but Asbury is very LGBTQ friendly
