A Monmouth County nonprofit helps provide support to young adults in the LGBTQ+ community.
Project REAL helps its clients get social and stay safe.
“At 19, my family wasn’t accepting of me being gay. I wasn’t necessarily kicked out, but I was told I couldn’t live there anymore,” says Bobby Lowry, of Neptune.
Now at age 28, Lowry says that he has a home and a family who does accept him for who he is – a family that he found at Project REAL six years ago.
