Out and Ally Lists
An important part of advancing the health of LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer or questioning) persons is to make sure that LGBTQ and allied students and health professionals are visible. In order to promote visibility of LGBTQ students, faculty, staff, and allies, MCW LGBTPM maintains an Out List and Ally List.
We hope the list will continue to grow as more faculty, staff, students, and alumni choose to participate.
Submit your information if you are interested in being on the Out or Ally List.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please contact us at mcwlgbtpm@gmail.com.
Out List
On the Out List, you will find the many people at MCW who identify along a spectrum of sexual and gender identities.
