Yes, and racism was completely fixed when slavery was ended! /s

Why is this downvoted.? This is the recipe to get officer PEOs tickets to disappear.

Impossible

Sometimes people connect with and befriend others who they share common experiences with. Growing up gay can be very difficult and many gay people like to socialize and build a network with their fellow gay brothers and sisters. Chosen family. To the OP, there are lots of family here in Jersey City. You should not have any problem.

I prefer AMP.

Yes, it has, but that doesn't mean that people just moving to the area know exactly what that means from a lived experience perspective.

If you're moving here for the first time from a place less inclusive, not knowing the extent to which it is simply is not an issue here is understandable.

From the opposite perspective, in recent years the extent to which gay friends (and Jewish friends) have gotten smacked in the face by the national scene when they hadn't really had to think much about their identity as a target for years, has saddened me a great deal.

This is where I disagree and that was my point - the NYC metro area and most other urban areas have been bending over backwards with inclusivity for a very long time and over last few years it has been expanded exponentially.

Wasn’t defense of marriage act just signed? That’s at the national level. JC has been progressive for decades.

Have you seen America lately? The whole country isn't exactly oozing inclusivity vibes. I get why people who can expect to experience outright bigotry and potential violence in many areas feel the need to ask this question.

If you're from JC, or the area, it can be really hard to understand the extent to which almost every single place being welcoming is unusual.

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.

Why not just make friends? Why is it ok to say you want friends with a a specific sexual identity? With all the rainbows flying in JC it’s hard to believe this question has to be asked.

X-press Cuts

There’s a ton of gays on the Jersey side and especially in JC. I’ve been able to make friends just fine here. Plenty in NYC too obviously but you’ll probably have to work a little harder to meet up.

Great clips. Literally on the light rail

I recently moved and I have seen only one sign. Never thought it would be different on the other side

Thank you

Document as well as you can. Plea not guilty and wait 3 months to hear if a judge throws it out

One side is Monday/Thursday. Other side is Tuesday/Friday. Are you looking at the signs on the side you parked?

I like my PCP Dr. Soraya Forest at JCMC Greenville. I’m peri menopausal and she’s given me great referrals for all kinds of issues I’m having. She’s kind and takes her time with me asking a million questions.

ETA: They take Horizon BCBS there.

Yea sure we’ll build it

Seconding NYU Langone , you can download their app and see which doctors take your insurance and pick a time that works best for you

Found my PCP there as well

Of course! I know how scary it is to navigate chronic health issues. I always look for female practitioners that are smart, listen and are thoughtful.

Thank you! Greatly appreciate your reply.
