Mickey Wilson is well known for his work in the LGBT Community.  Now in his late 50’s, Mickey is openly trans after transitioning to be male 23 years ago.  He grew up in Sarnia, Ontario, and migrated west at the age of 19.  He was married in 2005, but has been separated for the past 3 and a half years.

In the past, he was President of OutReach Southern Alberta, and worked as Manager of Public Works for a small town in Southern Alberta.  Going even further back, he was involved with EGALE as Chairman of the National Trans Committee and the Prairies Board Rep for 5-6 years (after Stephen Lock).  He holds the claim of being the first Trans person on the EGALE Board.

He currently lives in Edmonton where for the past 18 months he has been the Executive Director of the Edmonton Pride Centre.  He loves his job, and living in Edmonton means he is close to his supportive network of friends.

In his spare time, he enjoys taking care of his four dogs.  He doesn’t own a television or stereo, and prefers to read.  He goes out to LGBT community events for leisure, and does the occasional back-up for ISCWR drag numbers just for fun.  Otherwise he is still looking for love, and every now and then goes on dates with other men.
