Yeah exactly, which is why I've kept my mouth shut, but I did think Internet strangers might appreciate the humor.
Out of curiosity I googled "lesbian geologists," and while I didn't find an organization or anything, it did lead me to Ammonite, a 2020 film about the first female paleontologist Mary Anning. The film depicts her in a lesbian relationship, and although there's no historical basis, there's also no evidence of her ever being in a heterosexual relationship, leaving it open to question.
I thought it an interesting coincidence that I've just recently finished reading Ammonite, an excellent book by Nicola Griffith about a planet where a virus has wiped out all men, and the exploration of the women-only society that then developed over the centuries.
