you probably noted along this thread that naya was really involved with LGBTQIA+ causes. She played Santana Lopez on the show Glee during 5 years. she’s considered one of the most importants lesbian-characters on Television. But, this just happened because naya make sure to.
In the San Diego Comic-Con in 2011, during the glee panel, the glee writer, Brad Falchuck, said that initially the Brittany and Santana relationship it was something that should be treated like a joke, because the network, Fox, didn’t wanted to do of this a serious thing.
But he said that naya bring their attention to the fans letters and tweets about how important Santana character, and her storyline was for them, so naya and heather morris (who played brittany, her wife) made sure for that relationship happened and not treated like a joke.
Naya wrote a love letter to the LGBTQIA+ community in 2017 for Billboard, saying that “it has been of of the great blessings in her life receive such a love and touching stories as a result of her portrayal of Santana Lopez on Glee”.
Brad Falchuck, Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan, who created Glee, released an statement after her death talking about how much she was involved on Santana’s storyline.
for the pride month this year, naya used the filter of instagram in her profile to shows her support.
Santana Lopez ended up being considered an LGBTQIA+ icon on television having one of the most important storylines in the history.
how she helped and supported a lot of her friends and co-workers:
dot marie jones -who played coach beiste on glee-, did an interview in July she was asked to her about naya. she said “Her heart and the sincerity of that girl, it’s just, people don’t even know”
she also shared a history that naya was the first person to talked to her and showed support when her wife had a massive stroke.
Tamera Mowry, who knows naya since she was a little kid and naya dated her brother, Tahj, shared a history about how naya helped her and her sister to find a house when they were kicked out of their parents house.
Jerica, a step up high water writer (show who naya played Collette Jones) told in a project made by @nayaprojects in August, that one time, naya insisted to gave her her own heels to her because she told naya that she liked them.
Terrance Green, one of the closest naya’s friend and also co-worked with her in Step Up High Water, told deadline that naya gave to him her Saint Laurent Sunglasses because she said that “he’s already a superstar” wearing a YSL sunglass or not.
naya was described by her friends and persons who worked with her as “one of the most talented, kind and beautiful persons they’ve ever see”.
