Скачать или смотреть Queens Pride 2024 Cecilia Gentili Tribute

Stumbled upon this marcher, at the 2024 Queens Pride Parade, who wanted to share the story of Cecilia Gentilia, featured on their T-Shirt. My apologies to them since I missed out on recording his original statement which was more touchingly beautiful tribute


Cecilia Gentili (1972-2024) was a force to be reckoned with. Born in Argentina, she came to New York City as a transgender woman seeking a safer life. Despite facing hardships, including homelessness and sex work, Cecilia emerged as a powerful advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and sex workers' rights.

She co-founded the Callen-Lorde Community Health Center's "Cecilia's Occupational Inclusion Network" (COIN) clinic, the first dedicated healthcare center for sex workers on the East Coast. Cecilia also played a key role in securing funding for transgender initiatives and raising awareness about the challenges faced by marginalized communities.

Remembered for her fierce spirit, infectious humor, and unwavering dedication to justice, Cecilia Gentili left a lasting legacy on New York City and beyond.
