Since Lux is deaf we wanted to include some sign language! We decided that they speak Spanish and English.
As we got thinking though we realized that to talk more comfortably, especially to Calypso (who is mute) Lux would know sign language.
Some LGBTQ+ signs in ASL (American Sign Language) and LSM (Lengua de Señas Mexicana), 2 of Lux's 4 languages are provided to the left.
Also included are some descriptions for basic ASL signs. If you would like to learn more here's a YouTube video with the top 25 most basic signs in ASL

Brief history- here's a short TikTok explaining some brief information on ASL/other sign languages.
ASL originated in the early 1960s, but the first ever recorded history of a sign language type thing was in the 17th century. Although references of communicating with hand signals date back to the 5th century because Greece!!!
