Angela was joint winner of the British Girls' Under-18 chess championship in 1976. She gained the distinction of becoming British Parliament's first - and thus far only - openly lesbian member by coming out in September 1997 in an interview with The Observer.[2] Maureen Colquhoun, another lesbian MP, did not declare her sexuality until after she left parliament [3]. She was joined in the House of Commons at the 1997 General Election by her identical twin sister, Maria Eagle, thus probably becoming the first set of twins to sit in the House, but certainly the first set of twin sisters. She and her sister are one of only two pairs of sisters in the Commons, the other sister pair are Sylvia Heal and Ann Keen. She is also a keen cricketer.
