DIED: Faygele benMiriam, 55, a cross-dressing civil service worker who won a favorable Supreme Court ruling in a gay rights case in 1978, of lung cancer, in Seattle, June 5. In the case, which related to benMiriam's being fired from a federal job because he wore capes and dresses to work, the court ruled that his firing violated protections against sexual orientation--based discrimination in federal jobs.
DIED: Janis V. Giorgi, 53, an immunologist at the University of California, Los Angeles, of uterine cancer, May 30. In the 1980s Giorgi studied blood samples from 1,635 gay and bisexual men and found that a small number of the men had been repeatedly exposed to HIV but never became infected.
