She said,
“I was enamored with sapphic relationships on the screen, and I spent all of my time as a teenager convinced I was gay, despite barely even kissing a boy. For reasons I generally couldn’t explain, I had a streak of seeing queer women, a couple of which exclusively dated girls. “
When she was in college, Angel even tweeted and then deleted that “I wish they made sports bras for men, I would rock that sh*t”. In August 2019, she put on a sports bra and tiny shorts for the first time, and during that time, she smiled so much that her face hurt.
