While we are always engaged and active, Boonton Rainbow Pride has never made a public post regarding any local elections.

But after the nonpartisan Boonton Board of Education “Meet the Candidates Night” last night, we have to speak out.

Transgender and gender nonconforming people need actively affirming spaces. The NJ Health and Physical Education Standards provide a blueprint of curriculum that can create a safe and inclusive learning environment for all students.

Children need our guidance and assurance that learning lasts a lifetime. Of the three candidates present last night, Elaine Doherty and Jonathan Weininger demonstrated they understand their role in upholding and respecting the rights of the students, even if it does not align with their personal beliefs. Candidate Matthew Mondino began the evening with a narrow and transphobic platform as his motivation for running and provided little content during the discussion on other relevant school board responsibilities. Ignorance has no place on our school board or in our town.

We urge Candidate Mondino to learn the facts. “A 2020 peer-reviewed study by The Trevor Project’s researchers, published in the Journal of Adolescent Health, found that transgender and nonbinary youth who experienced bathroom discrimination had more than 1.5 times the odds of attempting su***de in the past year compared to those who did not experience bathroom discrimination.” Further, “The Trevor Project’s 2022 National Survey on LGBTQ Youth Mental Health found that more than half (53%) of transgender and nonbinary youth seriously considered su***de in the past year, and nearly 1 in 5 attempted su***de. 71% of transgender and nonbinary youth reported that they have experienced discrimination based on their gender identity, and those who have reported significantly higher rates of attempting su***de in the past year compared to those who have not. Further, 91% of transgender and nonbinary youth said that they have worried about transgender people being denied access to the bathroom due to state or local laws.”

Tonight at 7pm join Mayor Greenbaum, EDGE NJ , and Pride Mount Olive for a Pride Proclamation at the Mount Olive Township Council meeting in Council Chambers, 204 Flanders - Drakestown Rd, Flanders. Show your support for Pride and our LGBTQ+ neighbors. ❣️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Tonight the Mayor will read his proclamation for Pride Month!

We will thank him and the town for their support in the proclamation, the yarn art, and the windsocks.

Public comment at this meeting is a great chance to share why this matters to you personally, or why their refusal to fly a pride flag still is a concern, and what they can do to make the town safe and welcoming for all. Your voice matters!!

Let us know if you are uncomfortable attending alone and we can meet up outside.

(Note public comment usually asks people to state their name and address, as many may not want to share their home address for security reasons, usually giving your ward, street, or neighborhood is deemed adequate and we will speak up on your behalf if it is not accepted.)

Today we honor and remember all who are affected by the Pulse nightclub tragedy.

One of the most horrific events to date occurred 8 years ago, taking 49 lives during Latin Night at the Florida-based club Pulse.

One of the most powerful and truthful speeches we have ever heard.
