[17] She has publicly stated that she regards herself as a "sex-positive" feminist [18] and has been quoted as saying, "I want women to be able to stand up and say, 'I like sex', and not be slandered for it." [19]

Lumpkin has written extensively about her struggles with her sexual orientation. [20] In 2010, she wrote an article for The Advocate in which she discussed her battle with suicide after coming out of the closet. [21]
