Cape may gay bar
What to perform in Philly this week
Provincetown and Rehoboth may be among the most famous gay destinations on the East Coast, but did you know that the Jersey Shore is also dwelling to several LGBT-friendly beach communities? Within just a scant hours or less from downtown Philly are stunning stretches of sand that have become both official and unofficial havens for slathering on out and proudness “down the shore.”
Asbury Park’s beach and beyond
Asbury Park has become an LGBT mecca in recent years thanks to a boom in gay-friendly shops, restaurants and nightlife less than 55 miles from Fresh York City. And while there’s no “official” gay beach at this North Jersey hot notice, the sand between 4th and 5th Avenues at Convention Hall has grow an unofficial gathering place for all things fierce. In fact, the location is ideal for catching some rays (and waves) and tapping into the mile-long boardwalk attractions – everything from noshing to shopping (there are lots of great boutiques featuring local designers).
Beyond the beach, the town is
Magnificent artwork, custom wallpaper and an iconic fireplace combine with a grand circular bar and delicious list of cocktails, creating a unusual and intimate vibe.

Under the Rainbow: The story of GABLES
Seldom do I write a feature in which I am a key player. It was a moment of mixed reaction when I was assigned to write a piece on GABLES of Cape May County, a nonprofit LGBT community group celebrating its 23rd year. Having been an active member of GABLES since 1996, my head was in a scramble wondering on which of its many charitable accomplishments I should focus, which of the countless socials or cabaret shows I should recount, trying to decide on which of the monumental legislative issues I should mention in which GABLES played a contributing role. Yet, with all the excitement in knowing I would be sharing the GABLES stories with others, it was also a sobering moment for me to realize how far we, as a gay and lesbian organization, had come in being seen as equals in our collective. Here was a moment when Cape May Magazine, an established publication, was turning the spotlight on the group that not terribly long ago was chastised, threatened, and even shunned by local print media simply based on the sexual identity of its members.
To best perceive the formation and significance of GABLES in Cape May County, I’ll begin by taking a look at

The ByrdCage is Coming to Atlantic City
