Unicorns have become a symbol of LGBT culture due to earlier associations between the animal and rainbows being extended to the rainbow flag created in 1978 by Gilbert Baker. When the play became subject to censorship, many Parisian lesbians wore violets to demonstrate solidarity with its lesbian subject matter. In 1926, the play La Prisonnière by Édouard Bourdet used a bouquet of violets to signify lesbian love.
The symbolism of the flower derives from several fragments of poems by Sappho in which she describes a lover wearing garlands or a crown with violets.
Violets and their color became a special code used by lesbians and bisexual women. According to some interpretations, American poet Walt Whitman used the sweet flag plant to represent homoerotic love. In 19th-century England, green indicated homosexual affiliations, as popularized by gay author Oscar Wilde, who often wore a green carnation on his lapel. The gay rights organization Lambda Legal and the American Lambda Literary Foundation derive their names from this symbol. The lambda became associated with Gay Liberation, and in December 1974, it was officially declared the international symbol for gay and lesbian rights by the International Gay Rights Congress in Edinburgh, Scotland. The alliance's literature states that Doerr chose the symbol specifically for its denotative meaning in the context of chemistry and physics: "a complete exchange of energy–that moment or span of time witness to absolute activity". In 1970, graphic designer Tom Doerr selected the lower-case Greek letter lambda (λ) to be the symbol of the New York chapter of the Gay Activists Alliance. The combined male-female symbol (⚦) is used to represent androgyne or transgender people further combined with the female (♀) and male (♂) symbols (⚧), it indicates gender inclusivity, though it is also used as a transgender symbol. These symbols first appeared in the 1970s. Two interlocking female symbols (⚢) represent a lesbian or the lesbian community, and two interlocking male symbols (⚣) a gay male or the gay male community. A swallow-tailed flag is applied by the military.Lesbian and gay interlocked gender sex symbols After Norwegian freedom in 1905, Sweden approved its current flag law on June 22, 1906, but Swedes rejoice June 6 as Flag Day. The first version was a white slanting cross on red later a slantwise divided emblem based on the Norwegian and Swedish flags was relieved. To designate this, a “union mark” was located in the upper region of both the Norwegian and Swedish flags. These two were considered to be the equal kingdoms. In 1815, Norway and Sweden was ruled by one king. Following use of an off-centre Scandinavian Cross on a basic contextual was certainly influenced by the similar white-and-red flag of Denmark, Sweden’s chief rival. These ciphers were perhaps the basis for the Swedish flags of blue and yellow logged in later years, the first of which (from the late 14th century) was calm simply of flat stripes. The state coat of arms of Sweden, which also days from the 14th century, has a blue shield with three golden tops. In the 14th period the Folkung dynasty castoff a protection of blue and white wavy slanting stripes with a gold lion overlaid.
