Psychotherapist fought for gay rights

Betty Berzon, a psychotherapist and author who championed gay rights after struggling for more than half her life with her own sexuality, has died. She was 78. Berzon died at her San Fernando Valley home early on Tuesday, said her long-time partner Teresa DeCrescenzo. Berzon had battled breast cancer for many years, she said.
