The Pride flag will fly at Drumthwacket throughout the month of June. The Governor and First Lady made the announcement at their annual LGBTQ+ reception at the Governor’s Beach House in Island Beach State Park.
“We are also excited to continue to work towards a future of tolerance and acceptance for all.” “We are honored to be able to represent the LGBTQ+ community at Drumthwacket by flying the Pride flag,” said First Lady Tammy Murphy. “I am honored to show support for our LGBTQ+ residents by flying the Pride flag as we celebrate Pride throughout the month of June.” “It is of the greatest importance that everyone feels accepted in New Jersey, regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation,” said Governor Phil Murphy.
Since Stonewall, the rainbow Pride flag has become an important symbol of LGBTQ+ identity and solidarity. Pride Month commemorates the Stonewall riots, one of the most important milestones in the LGBTQ+ rights movement. TRENTON – For the first time in New Jersey history, Drumthwacket, the Governor’s official residence in Princeton, will fly the Pride flag on its official flagpole for the duration of Pride Month in a show of support for all members of the LGBTQ+ community.
