Around the time SOAK was coming into her sexuality, she discovered the long-running Showtime series The L Word, and it was first time she'd ever seen lesbians on television. "I remember when I'd started to fall into 'the gay group' at school and was having my eyes opened wider daily with new discoveries," she told Under the Radar. "I was only becoming comfortable with my own sexuality and learning about the LGBT community when I was introduced to The L Word, a drama series about the complicated lives of LA lesbians. For me, at that moment in my life, just seeing gay people simply Blew. My. F*cking. Mind."
