SOAK talks about her sexuality candidly and often in the hope of normalizing it, but also because she wants to remind the people around her that not everyone can embrace their sexuality so openly. "When I was younger, I had a complicated relationship with talking about sexuality, probably because I didn't want to be defined by it — and I still don't want to be defined as a gay musician," she explained to them. "But I also think it's really important. I just talk about it normally, as I would in an everyday conversation."
However, despite having a large big LGBTQ+ community in Derry, gay marriage still isn't legalized in Northern Ireland. "I think I definitely talk a lot about gay life, though, because I have the ability to do that," she continued, "and I'm from a country that still doesn't have gay marriage. So when I can I like to make a point of just reminding people that not everyone in the world can marry, or it's more difficult for people. I guess I'm conscious of knowing that things are quite happy in my gay world, but not everyone's gay world. I'm making sure that I'm not too privileged about it."
