Mitchell Pritchett
Mitchell Pritchett is Jay's son, one of Lily's fathers, and partner of five years to Cameron. He is a low-key, mild-mannered person. At most times he is the exact opposite of Cameron which usually causes disagreements. Cam acts as a counterbalance to Mitchell's uptight, worrying ways. He has an extreme love for Costco. He is not ashamed of his homosexuality and usually responds to homophobia (whether real or perceived) by giving "speeches." Because of his mild-mannered, uptight nature, he is sometimes embarrassed by Cameron's flamboyance. Mitchell and his older sister Claire are competitive and his father Jay isn't completely comfortable with the fact that he's gay, which most likely contributed to him becoming a momma's boy. He was initially scared to let his family meet Lily, although she was welcomed with open arms. He is an overprotective and cautious father. He is an attorney and a graduate of both Cornell University and Columbia University Law School. He also enjoys musical theater and loved ice skating as a kid. As seen in the season one finale "Family Portrait" and the season two premiere "The Old Wagon," Mitchell has an intense fear of birds.
