<P> Mitchell Vincent Pritchett ( Jesse Tyler Ferguson ) , also referred to as Mitch , is Jay 's son ; Claire 's younger brother , Manny 's step - brother , Joe 's half - brother , Luke , Alex and Haley 's uncle ; one of Lily 's fathers ; and partner of eight years to Cameron . He is a low - key , mild - mannered person , but has many sensitive qualities . At most times he is the exact opposite of Cameron which usually causes disagreements . Cameron acts as a counterbalance to Mitchell 's uptight , worrying ways . Because of his mild - mannered , uptight nature , he is sometimes embarrassed by Cameron 's flamboyance . He is uncomfortable with public displays of affection , as well as invasion of his personal space . He is an overprotective and cautious father . He is shown to be a capable lawyer , even representing an entire building full of people one - by - one with no prior notice . A recurring theme on the show is Mitchell 's relationship with his father , which was strained by the revelation of Mitchell 's homosexuality . Mitchell is a musical theater fan and enjoyed ice skating as a kid , though he later admitted that he liked working with his sister as a team more than the ice skating itself . Although he fancies himself as a handyman , everybody is afraid of him around tools . From his degrees hanging in his office , it is apparent that Mitchell attended undergrad at Cornell University and law school at Columbia University . </P>
