This year’s Out 100 celebrates an array of LGBT women

Every year Out magazine lists their 100 LGBT people to watch. In the past, the Out 100 has also included allies (Katy Perry, Anne Hathaway among them) and frequently had a great imbalance of men to women. This year, Out seems to have attempted to be more diverse in their inclusion, with close to half of the 100 being female-identified.

The LGBT women that made this year’s Out 100: Caitlyn Jenner, Carrie Brownstein, Cynthia Nixon, Andreja Pejic, Jess Glynne, Lily Tomlin, Edie Windsor, Raven-Symone, Diana Nyad, Alicia Garza, Abby Wambach, Alison Bechdel, Roberta Colindrez, Beth Malone, Lisa Kron, Roxane Gay, Bamby Salcedo, Holly Miranda, Juliana Huxtable, Sarah Kate Ellis, Aisha Moodie Mills, Mya Taylor, Kitana Kiki Rodriguez, Chai Feldblum, Niki Nakayama, Candis Cayne, Jana Hunter, Breanna Sinclairé, Kelly Bush Novak, Ann Philbin, Brooke Johnson, Jen Richards, Hannah Hart, Jennicet Gutiérrez, Hari Nef, Andrea Bernstein, Nancy Solomon, and Andrea Sperling.

There’s also a strong showing of bisexual women, trans-identified women and women of color, although all four of the major honorees (Caitlyn Jenner, Carrie Brownstein, Lily Tomlin and Olly Alexander) are white. The cover (or covers) has yet to be released, but hopefully it will be as inclusive as the list overall.

The 21st annual Out 100 issue hits newstands this month, but you can read about the honorees now at out.com.
