While sodomy was against the law in much of the territory — and often used to prosecute gay people — it was not against the rule 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 dictate that did not apply to other establishments like theaters and cafes.

The C ’80 Pub Named Hottest Queer Bar in Northern N.J.
Drew’s campus Pub was officially named the “Hottest Queer Bar in Northern New Jersey” by the official LGBTQ+ Bar Association of America last Wednesday.
The C’80 Pub, located in the Ehinger Center, has long served as a popular spot for Queer students to spend their evenings, imbibe with their close friends and feel safe in their have skin. Each patron leaves feeling gayer than they did walking in, and now the Pub has an official title to boast.
Last week, following the announcement from the LGBTQ+ Bar Association of America, I made my way to the Pub to interview some of the regular patrons to get their perception on the declaration.
