A 5162 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes "LGBTQIA+ Pride Month" in New Jersey.

This bill designates June each year as "LGBTQIA+ Pride Month" in New Jersey to recognize members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual, and nonbinary communities. The legislation formally establishes this observance in state law and requests that the Governor issue an annual proclamation encouraging public officials and citizens to participate in related activities. The bill also includes a statement explaining the context for the legislation, noting recent federal actions that have paused certain diversity-related observances and removed inclusive language from government resources.
