Subtle Gay quotes/poems/etc. (feddit.de)

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?

Not sure if this quite fits your bill, but John Ashbery was a gay man living and writing in New York through the 60s and 70s. His writing has this tendency to circle around and around without ever quite naming the thing - Soonest Mended being a pretty good example of his style. Not sure if there's anything so much like a dog whistle in his work, but I personally found his occlusive style really resonated with me
