Garden State Equality is New Jersey's largest advocacy organization. Garden State Equality leads the statewide campaign for marriage equality and fights for all civil rights for LGBT people in New Jersey. The organization's membership comes from both the straight and ...LGBT communities. Visit www.GardenStateEquality.org to donate or to volunteer in our grassroots campaign against the civil union law's failure - thereby helping to win marriage equality in court. You may contact Garden State Equality at (973) GSE-LGBT or Contact@GardenStateEquality.org Since Garden State Equality’s founding in 2004, New Jersey has enacted 210 LGBT civil rights laws at the state, county and local levels – more LGBT laws enacted in less time than in any other state in history. A 2009 year-end study by www.eQualityGiving.com ranks New Jersey as #1 in the United States for LGBT civil rights, tied with California, Iowa and Vermont. "Garden State Equality has run the most effective grassroots campaign New Jersey has seen in years," writes the Star-Ledger. “Garden State Equality could be a model for the rest of the country,” writes the Associated Press. Garden State Equality is the only statewide civil rights organization in America ever to be featured in an Academy Award-winning film. "Freeheld" won the 2008 Oscar for Best Short Documentary. Garden State Equality's headquarters is in Montclair in North Jersey, with an office in Asbury Park serving Central Jersey and the Shore, an office in Collingswood serving South Jersey, and a legislative office in Trenton across from the State House. Garden State Equality is also the state’s only LGBT civil rights organization with full-time staff. A short film about Garden State Equality is at the bottom of this page under "Posted Items." Among the 210 laws Garden State Equality has gotten enacted: From 2004 to 2006, 12 expansions of the domestic partnership law. In 2006, a civil union law. In 2006, a law expanding the Law Against Discrimination to include the transgender community. In 2008, a law that simultaneously overhauled the state’s anti-bullying law, expanded the state’s hate crimes law to encompass the transgender community, and toughened up the entire hate crimes law to strengthen the fight against all bias-motivated violence. Also in 2008, New Jersey became only the second state in the United States, after California, to mandate paid family leave to employees who need to provide care for their same-sex partners. And in 2009, in conjunction with his speech at Garden State Equality’s annual Legends Dinner, Governor Corzine signed an executive order mandating that the state indicate gender on driver licenses in accordance with one’s own gender identity or expression – yet another milestone for transgender civil rights. Now Garden State Equality is fighting to bring marriage equality to New Jersey. Become a Facebook fan of Garden State Equality to keep up on our campaign. Together, let’s make American history again.
