Out100

Out magazine's annual list recognizing 100 of the most impactful and influential LGBTQ+ people of the year.

The Out100 is Out magazine's yearly list honoring 100 of the most impactful and influential LGBTQ+ people, published since the early 1990s. Honorees span entertainment, politics, sports, business, activism, and culture, and the list is paired with an annual celebration and cover feature. It has become one of the best-known markers of visibility and achievement in queer public life, with recent classes recognizing figures like Cynthia Erivo, Sheryl Lee Ralph, and Sam Champion. Out is the highest-circulation LGBTQ monthly in the United States and is now owned by Equal Pride. Being named to the Out100 is widely treated as a mark of distinction across the community.
