Regan Hanley is a 65-year-old transgender woman living in Kalamazoo. She was born and raised in Detroit in an Irish Catholic family, attending a Catholic grade school and a Jesuit all-boys high school. Regan is divorced and has two kids. She is still very close with them all.
Her family moved to Kalamazoo for a job at Stryker Corporation. Regan came out as gay and then as transgender in 2015 with the help and support of family and employer. She is currently happily retired and very active at OutFront Kalamazoo. She helps operate Transcend, a peer-based support group for adult trans, non-binary, and gender non-conforming folx.
In honor of LGBTQIA+ History Month and National Coming Out Day, we will hear from Regan Hanley, co-president of OutFront Kalamazoo’s Board of Directors, about her coming-out journey and how she gives back to the community that has given her so much support.
