Tom Wilson Weinberg (born 1945) is an American composer, singer, songwriter, and LGBTQ rights activist. He was instrumental in founding Giovanni's Room, the first lesbian and gay bookstore in Philadelphia, along with other organizations and spaces supporting LGBTQ culture and rights in the city. He is one of the first songwriters and composers to combine gay men's and LGBTQ-themed popular music with social justice activism in the musical and cabaret genre, and has used his shows to raise funds for LGBTQ causes for over 50 years.
