🏳️🌈 Happy Pride Month!
Mindful that biology has been weaponized against the LGBTQ community by people who don’t know much about biology, I’m making daily, queer, biologically themed posts for #PrideMonth2026

The BlueSky-iest post of all time. 🥇 It’s perfect.
It’s called a pride of lions for a reason. Both male and female lions form same-sex pair bonds and interact homosexually. About 8% of mountings are between males.
For more on gay lions, see Bruce Bagemihl’s 1999 encyclopedia, Biological Exuberance: Animal Homosexuality and Natural Diversity.

6/12: Wild sheep are super gay. So are domesticated sheep. You can’t pray the gay out of sheep

New study: relative sea level rise from all causes made a 100-year flood in 1900 a 1-in-5-year flood or less by 2005 in Key West, Jacksonville, Atlantic City, and Maine. I plotted these from assets-eu.researchsquare.com/files/rs-749...
Human-caused climate change is usually the biggest factor for this relative sea level rise, but vertical land movement (typically subsidence from groundwater pumping) is a big factor at Atlantic City and Halifax.
