NJ S2953

Designates June of each year as "LGBTQIA+ Pride Month" in New Jersey, recognizing individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual, nonbinary, and other gender identities or sexual orientations.

Requests the Governor to annually issue a proclamation calling upon public officials and citizens to observe the month with appropriate activities and programs.

Supplements Title 36 of the Revised Statutes (commemorative days and months) and takes effect immediately upon enactment.

Introduced in response to federal executive orders that have paused diversity, equity, and inclusion programs and removed gender identity references from federal websites and resources.

Sponsored by Senators Raj Mukherji (District 32) and Vin Gopal (District 11), pre-filed for the 2026 legislative session.
