Jersey City just received a perfect score for inclusiveness.

I am not gay, so take this bit for what it is worth, but I have heard that moving into the area can take some adjustment as LGTBQ are just so much a part of the regular life of the city that it feels strange. Pretty much everything and everywhere is gay friendly. So much so that it is almost not worth much discussion about where, specifically, to live.

Anyway, I expect that you will find enough people no matter where you decide to settle.

Best of luck, I wish you success with your move.

That’s just laws and policies as the article notes.

I know someone who left for Brooklyn a few years back because lack of business diversity. Some LGBTQ, like the person I know prefer to patronize and work for LGBTQ businesses (vote with your wallet and all). It’s apparently pretty exhausting finding nearby everything that satisfies that around here. Doctors, dry cleaners, groceries, etc. Brooklyn makes it easy apparently. Sometimes just not being visibly hostile isn’t enough.

It looks like you shared an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of concerns over privacy and the Open Web.
