Every participant who gets a lifestyle makeover on Queer Eye is referred to as a hero, but never as a trailblazer. That changed with the arrival of Angel Flores. Flores of Austin, TX. became the fi…

DEADLINE You were estranged from your dad because of your transition. Did you approach him before doing the show to let him know the Fab Five would want him to appear? No, Karamo did a lot of the work. I spoke to my mom a little bit before the show. Back then I was going through the height of my transition, all the major changes.

To have him walk in and see his kid who looks extremely different and who has really come into herself … I was really nervous. My dad felt the same way. And ultimately, like he said on the show, he just needed his kid.
