Soon after, LGBTQIA+ advocacy group GLAAD shared the news on Instagram, applauding Gentili for her dedication to serving the trans community.
“We are devastated to hear about the death of Cecilia Gentili,” they wrote. “Cecilia was a pillar in the trans community, a dedicated advocate, a striking actress on the hit TV program Pose, an incredible journalist, and a sex worker.”
They revealed that Gentili “just celebrated her 52nd birthday, surrounded by friends, loved ones, and community.”
According to the nonprofit, Gentili worked with numerous different organizations, and even founded Trans Equity Consulting and Decrim NY — “a coalition working toward decriminalization, decarceration, and destigmatization of sex workers.”
