I’m sorry, but he is literally sitting behind a pile of green carnations with a swallow flying over his head.

Victorian men would often pin a green carnation on their lapel as popularized by author Oscar Wilde, who often wore one on his lapel.

The green carnation indicated homosexual affiliations.

According to the rumours, gay sailors first started getting a swallow tattoo on the hand as a sign to other gay sailors that they were fair play.
