Pride month: When gay bars were illegal in Novel Jersey

How can you tell if someone is homosexual?
For a Dominant Court judge sitting in Ocean County in 1957, it was easy.
“It is in the plumage that you recognize the bird,” he explained in a case against Paddock Block in Atlantic City.
For years in the Garden Articulate, the quacks like a duck, walks like a duck test was the standard by which police, inspectors and judges punished bars frequented by people who might have stood under the LGBTQ umbrella.

But it was forbidden, however, for bars and restaurants with liquor licenses to allow gays, lesbians, cross-dressers and the like to "congregate" — a rule that did not apply to other establishments like theaters and cafes.
The state’s liquor regulators called gay bars a public “nuisance” and “inimicable to public morals,” and they occasionally suspended violators and shut down restate offenders.

The C ’80 Pub Named Hottest Queer Bar in Northern N.J.
Drew’s campus Pub was officially named the “Hottest Queer Bar in Northern New Jersey” by the official LGBTQ+ Block Association of America last Wednesday.
The C’80 Pub, located in the Ehinger Center, has long served as a popular spot for Queer students to invest their evenings, drink with their close friends and feel safe in their own skin. Each patron leaves feeling gayer than they did walking in, and now the Pub has an official title to boast.
Last week, monitoring the announcement from the LGBTQ+ Bar Association of America, I made my way to the Pub to interview some of the regular patrons to get their insight on the declaration.

She went on to say the establishment deserved the title, stating, “I think the pub turns people gay.”
