Advocate for Gay Causes and the Disabled
By Richard Sandomir
Janet Weinberg, an advocate for people
with disabilities who found her calling as a top executive and
fund-raiser at social service organizations like the Gay Men’s Health Crisis, died on Sept. 1 in the Bronx. She was 63.
Her spouse, Rosalyn H. Richter, an associate justice of the Appellate Division of New York State Supreme Court, said the cause was a chronic heart condition.
Ms.
Weinberg had been an occupational therapist for a decade when she
accepted an offer to join the board of the Lesbian & Gay Community
Services Center in Manhattan in the mid-1990s.
