• Pride, once filled with joy, is changing. Here are the new realities (app.com) — Jersey Pride’s 34th annual festival in Asbury Park on June 7 is bucking a statewide trend, staying fully funded and even growing while many other Pride events lose corporate sponsors. Organizers credit long-term relationships and the fenced, ticketed setup near Convention Hall for keeping the $200,000 event strong. The story also explores how national politics and shrinking sponsorships are reshaping Pride across New Jersey.
