Law enforcement leaders apologized Tuesday for New Jersey’s history of surveilling and punishing bars that served gay residents and formally revoked penalties issued decades ago against more than 100 businesses. From the end of Prohibition to the late 1960′s, the state at least temporarily stripped liquor licenses from places accused of hosting “female impersonators” or causing a “nuisance,” which sometimes just meant undercover investigators found other male patrons to be “effeminate,” officials said.“Our Department has never reckoned with this ugly moment in its history.”
