Angeli Luz on creating the Lesbian Masterdoc and the backlash
Angeli Luz was 18 years old when she sat down to research, pen, and post the “Am I A Lesbian?” Masterdoc. Over a decade later, her work has withstood the test of time having reached millions of readers worldwide. The Lesbian Master Doc, for those that don’t already know, is a 30 page research paper asking the question that Angeli herself was parsing out at the time: How do I know if I'm a lesbian? What is the difference between actual attraction and compulsory heterosexuality (comphet) fostered by the world around us?
In conversation, Angeli discusses:
-the story behind the creation of the doc
-going viral and the backlash that comes with that
-what she would change about her writing if approaching it today
-attention from celebrities like Reneé Rapp and Kehlani
-discovering her own sexual identity and coming out, for a second time, as bisexual
