Symbolism and Iconography
Broadly speaking, any person known to be or perceived as queer would continued to be a queer cultural touchstone thereafter (e.g. Frederick the Great and "Potsdamists")
 * LGBT symbols - specifically lavender (also the color), calamus, green carnations, violets; hyacinths, narcissus, orchids (not an exclusively gay symbol), pansies (primarily a slur)
 * possible others: begonia, buttercup, cypress, daisy, delphinium, elderberry, fern, haricot (bean), hazel, kiwi, lilac, lily, mandrake, mint/minty, peacock feathers, quince, Lad's love
 * flower, fruit, and herb generally
 * Nautical star tattoo
 * Classical figures: Alcibiades, Antinous, Damon and Pythias, Ganymede, Hyacinthus, Hephaestion, Narcissus, Patroclus, Sacred Band of Thebes; other such classical mythological figures were less common
 * Karl Heinrich Ulrichs coined the terms Uranian/Urning based on Aphrodite Urania (not to be confused with the muse of astronomy) in the mid-19th century. Aphrodite Urania's mainstream symbolism prior to Ulrichs's work was of "celestial" or "non-earthly" love, and had been approximated to homosexual love by Pausanias in Plato's Symposium. But I am curious how the concept may have developed or even just been referenced between Plato and Ulrichs. There's also a possible link of "non-earthly" love being reclaimed as a more positive variant of "unnatural".
