Hello and God bless. My family is to move to Long Island soon where my husband will be working in Melville. We currently live in rural Pennsylvania. We are a Christian family and family values are very important to us. We know that Long Island is more liberal and secular than what we are used to, but family values are important to us. Can people recommend neighborhoods where there is large predominately Christian community - preferably Evangelical. We know that there are many Jewish on Long Island. Do they tend to live in their own neighborhoods, or are they dispersed through the Long Island? What neighborhoods are these. Are there homosexual communities, or are they only in New York City. Are there Islamic people, or are they only in New York City as well? Thank you for any help!
Long Island is a great mix of cultures. Believe it or not... whispering... homo-sex-uals are everywhere ,as are Muslims, Jews, Blacks, and Hispanics. All with the same "family values," you hold so dear. You might find a few E-van-gelicals mixed in there, too. Not that they stand out, or anything.
Melville has a great school district. I would be more concerned about the quality of your children's education than whether, or not Jews live in their own neighborhoods, or homo- sex -u- als are tainting anything.
Long Island is a great place to raise your children. We are close enough to NYC to enjoy the culture without paying the high price of living there.

We haven't had one of these "baiters" with this type of first post in a long time. They always seem to post them late at night, waiting for all the forum readers to see it in the morning.

OP if you search the forum you will find the same questions asked before, find a church to your way of thinking and then ask them where the compound is located....

Seriously. We need a Facebook type age rule.
True evangelicals from "rural PA" would be working their network and frankly not even considering a job in NY. What kind if job in rural PA translates to a job in the NYC metro anyway?
Yes. To answer your question...Long Island is home to all of the people that you are afraid of. You won't be able to find a single community that would cater to your exact needs. The Jewish ghettos of 1930s Poland are no longer in service, so Jews could be your next door neighbor. I would stay as far away from Long Island if I were you since you don't seem like you're going to like it here anyway.

Jewish, Muslim, and same-sex couples probably value their families as much as you claim to value yours. And they live in towns across LI.
The community you are looking for started disappearing in the '60s. Back in the day all the immigrants settled in sections, Irish section, polish section, etc. Today, LI has become the melting pot that the Statute of Liberty speaks about. Tell you hubby that he better pull those papers, you will be MISERABLE on LI.
