It was an honor to speak with so many advocates at our roundtable on issues impacting LGBTQ+ youth and the community.
I'm proud to fight on behalf of the LGBTQ+ community across NJ and to continue our work to make our nation a more equitable, open place for all. #PrideMonth
Talking housing, employment, and the significance of uplifting diverse communities with Mayor Ras Baraka.
Thank you Rebirth Church in Asbury Park for hosting.
Garden State Equality’s Equality Ball. Yrs ago I was a GSE Board Member & helped introduce their Anti-Bullying Hotline & advocated for Marriage Equality. I’m proud to still be an ally, & always striving for a kinder, more inclusive and accepting world for us ALL. 🏳️🌈
Thank you to everyone who helped make Equality Ball a success! 🏳️🌈❤️
The path to justice may be long, but here in New Jersey, we are pulling the arc of the moral universe towards justice with all our might. 💪
It was fitting for my first flag raising ceremony this year to take place in Belmar, NJ—my hometown. This was their first year raising the flag and I thought about how much it would've meant to me as a young kid walking past the plaza all those years ago to see a rainbow flag.
🏳🌈 HAPPY PRIDE MONTH! 🏳🌈

As we face an alarming surge in anti-LGBTQ laws across the nation, visibility becomes increasingly crucial.
Let's raise our flags high this month, and every month, as a powerful symbol that we refuse to be silenced or erased.
Spending time with Cpl. Charles Anderson, my grandfather, this Memorial Day weekend. Let us all take time to reflect on the bravery and sacrifice of those no longer with us who served our nation. 🇺🇲
Last week, we raised the alarm about the Hanover Board of Ed forcing schools to out LGBTQ+ students. Now, the Colts Neck BOE is trying to pass the same illegal, dangerous policy.
Let's show up for our LGBTQ+ youth at Cedar Drive Middle School at 7 pm tomorrow!
Join us at 6 pm tomorrow to show up for LGBTQ+ books and trans students at the Hamilton Board of Education meeting. Let's make sure our neighbors in Hamilton see how much support the LGBTQ+ community has!

, but requiring school staff to “out” LGBTQ+ students to their parents is wrong.
Coming out is a personal decision. We won’t allow government-mandated “outing” that puts the health of our young people at risk.
Parents love & know their kids better than AG Platkin & Gov Murphy do.
Schools shouldn't withhold info on kids from parents.
Good for Hanover BOE.
And shame on @NewJerseyOAG & @GovMurphy for suing to prevent loving parents from loving their kids.

Hanover Township Board of Education's new policy requiring staff to "out" LGBTQ students to their parents violates the rights of our students — jeopardizing their well-being and mental health.
I support
In New Jersey, we will always work tirelessly to protect our LGBTQ+ youth from discrimination. That’s why we’re challenging the Hanover Township Board of Education's new policy requiring staff to out LGBTQ+ students to their parents. https://bit.ly/3Wdbfa4

A lot of far-right conservatives hate tweeting me this morning over protecting Trans youth.
Just an observation as I'm getting ready for... church.
Happy Easter, y'all! 🐣🐇
MURPHY 👏 SAID 👏 TRANS 👏 RIGHTS 👏 NOW! 🏳️⚧️💙💗🤍💗💙🏳️⚧️
In response to attacks on trans people by other states' governments, Gov. Murphy signed an order today making NJ a sanctuary state for those providing/seeking/helping others get transition-related healthcare!

This is historic! As much of the nation goes backwards on Trans rights, here in New Jersey we continue to ensure everyone can experience lived equality. This bill will help many lives!
Across the nation, we are seeing attacks to undermine the equality, dignity, and safety of the LGBTQIA+ community.
Today I signed an executive order establishing New Jersey as a safe haven for gender-affirming health care in the following ways:
Today, on #TransDayOfVisibility, we honored the ballroom community with the recognition of the legendary Venus Xtravaganza and dedication of her childhood home as a community landmark.
