Angie and Litsey sat down with @alejandrooo to have a fun open conversation about life, the LBGTQ+ community and personal experiences. Alex get very candid about the ideologies of the queer community that people have when it comes to their stories and coming out. We spoke on Alex not having the typical story as she is someone who to this day doesn't typically care about explaining the things that people don't understand; and being raised by amazing women who helped shaped who she is. Alex also discussed a funny story about "fake" dating a boy, and sooo much more!
