What's it like to be LGBT in New Jersey politics in the year 2023? Short answer: it's not that great. In one corner we've go the NJ Republican Party gushing bat guano crazy, anti-LGBT sentiment for as long as anyone can recall. Early on in the battle for marriage equality, the NJ GOP voted 'NO' (mostly in lockstep) throughout the aughts and well into the Chris Christie era. Their contempt for LGBT people was usually on full display, their strident 'NO' votes often accompanied by mean-spirited commentary for the historical archive.
