My nickname is a stylized short for lesbian lizard, but a lesbian lizard is actually something that exists for real too: It's the nickname for the New Mexico whiptail, a species of female-only lizards.
New Mexico whiptails are a natural hybrid of two other lizard species. Because of a little genetic oopsie, only female lizards can be born as the result of the hybridization, but that hasn't stopped them from furthering their lizardly agenda.
They're called lesbian lizards because, even though they reproduce asexually, they mate with each other in order to produce eggs. Yep, it's not just that being gay is a natural thing, but the only way to go for many.
In other words, I actually picked this nickname because it's a subtle way to say that being gay is actually very natural. 😄
