Pride month: When male lover bars were illegal in New Jersey
This article was first published in 2019.
How can you say if someone is homosexual?
For a Higher quality Court judge sitting in Ocean County in 1957, it was easy.
“It is in the plumage that you acknowledge the bird,” he explained in a case against Paddock Bar in Atlantic City.

While sodomy was against the law in much of the territory — and often used to prosecute gay people — it was not against the commandment to be queer or lesbian in New Jersey. But it was forbidden, however, for bars and restaurants with liquor licenses to allow gays, lesbians, cross-dressers and the like to "congregate" — a command 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 general morals,” and they occasionally suspended violators and shut down repeat offenders.

Paying homage to the day the Marriage Equality Act was passed in the Combined States, June 26, 2015, the name Six26 was born. On this evening, the United States Supreme Court struck down all state bans on gay marriage, legalizing it in all 50 states, and requiring states to honor out-of-state same-sex marriage licenses in the case Obergefell v. Hodges. With a lounge that becomes a joyful and vibrant high-energy lounge and a chill garden-esque rooftop bar as the sun sets, The Six26 venue is always ready to celebrate being and love with all who walk through its doors.
