Subject: THE OUT LIST 2.1, Pt. 1

Version 2.1 -- October 1995

"THEY CAME OUT--YOU CAN, TOO!"





Compiled by Mark Hertzog, The Heartland Project, Charlottesville, Virginia,

USA heartland@pride.net



***NOTICE*** Please send correspondence regarding the List to the address

above, NOT to my former address, mwh8h@virginia.edu






ABOUT THE LIST

The Out List is an alphabetical list of nearly 700 living, famous or

distinguished persons who have publicly acknowledged that they are lesbian,

gay or bisexual. The purpose of the Out List is to celebrate the

accomplishments of our community and to show people, especially those

struggling with their sexuality, that hundreds of prominent persons have come

out as homosexual or bisexual and kept their careers, their fortunes, and the

love and respect of others.

Five previous versions of this List have been issued during each U.S.

college semester beginning with the Fall of 1992. Each is posted initially

to GayNet gaynet@queernet.org and the Queer
Resources Directory

qrd@qrd.com .

To assist those who wish to create displays, advertising, etc., aimed at

people-of-color groups or AIDS/HIV education, I have made marginal notations

where appropriate, mostly coded as follows:

[B] African descent [A] Asian descent [L] Latino/a descent

[NA] Native American descent [HIV] Openly HIV-positive

Given the overwhelming disproportion of Americans on the List, I

strongly encourage the submission of names of publicly out people from

*outside* the United States!

posts. Those whose last names begin with the letter A through J are in one

post, K through Z in the other.
