In 26 years of life, Angel has lived through everything and she embodies the survival instinct that is implicit in queer art, something that reflects well in her impeccable fashion style.

There are a lot of openly LGBT artists now, but things would be a whole lot better if the industry would not categorize our peers in that manner at all. Enjoy the music, all of which are great regardless of the artist's sexual orientation. Creativity, fashion, and talent should speak for itself. Inclusiveness is a big thing, not just in the world of fashion but also in the world of music and entertainment industry.
