Gables of Cape May County The gay group doing good for the entire community We believe in helping our neighbors and setting a positive example for the entire community.

We are GABLES, a gay group doing good for the entire community; whose purpose is to elevate the quality of life for our members, friends, neighbors and all those who surround us in this great big world. Throughout our existence, we have been know for our charitable works. We have raised considerable funds for local organizations such as Volunteers in Medicine and South Jersey Aids Alliance. We have also been asked to participate in educational evens at local high schools as well as other events held by community organizations. Although, politics are not our primary focus, we have become a well known voice in the gay equality movement here in the New Jersey. Due to our community outreach, there have been many doors opened to us that otherwise would have remained closed and bolted. We are on a first name basis with many of our publicly elected officials. In short, we are just folks trying to make the world a better place starting right here at home; in our small patch of the Garden State.

Sharing for Equality Cape May celebrate LGBT History Month

Q***r history didn’t only happen in New York, San Francisco, or other places we tend to associate with the LGBTQ+ rights movement. It happened right here in South Jersey, too.

This piece of Atlantic City history comes from the Hialeah Club, where advertisements from the early 20th century promoted performances by “female impersonators”, the language commonly used at the time for entertainers whose performances crossed conventional gender boundaries.

The Hialeah was part of a much longer history of q***r nightlife and gender-nonconforming entertainment in Atlantic City. By the 1920s, venues in the city were already creating spaces where people could encounter performances, communities, and expressions of gender and sexuality that existed outside the mainstream.

This LGBTQ+ History Month, we’re remembering that our history isn’t only national. It’s local, too. 🏳️‍🌈
