Lesbians have Sappho to get cute stuff from. I’m looking for something similar for men, that’s pro-gay or anti homophobe.

Needs to be subtle and an “if you know you know” vibe because I want to make art things in a homophobic area.

Any ideas?

    Achilles/patroclus, canonically but also somewhat subtly

    If you’re looking for a poet, Walt Whitman is the traditional gay-but-subtle poet:

    From the cinder-strewed threshold I follow their movements, The lithe sheer of their waists plays even with their massive arms, Overhand the hammers roll—overhand so slow—overhand so sure, They do not hasten, each man hits in his place
