Daily News | Ada Bello, pioneering LGBTQ activist and longtime laboratory chemist, has died at 89
pioneering LGBTQ activist and longtime laboratory chemist for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the University of Pennsylvania, died Friday, March 31, of pneumonia and COVID-19 at Chestnut Hill Hospital.
She edited and distributed local newsletters, wrote articles and letters to the editor about gay rights issues, and helped organize the first Philadelphia gay pride parade. One of her most effective policy-changing strategies was to link constitutional rights with gay rights, and she demonstrated on the Fourth of July at Independence Hall in 1969.“She was determined and had a sense of mission,” said longtime friend and colleague John Cunningham.
Ada Bello was born Nov. 6, 1933, and grew up in provinces near Havana. She left Cuba when the government closed the University of Havana and painstakingly learned English in the United States by using it every day.
