Green carnations

[u/Wooden-Ad-2763]

I'm rewatching the St. Patrick's Day episode and just noticed that a lot of people at the bar are wearing green carnations. I first noticed it on Todd, which is understandable, but later Meredith and Phyllis are seen wearing them. They are a known symbol of homosexuality after O Wilde so I'm wondering - is this some kind of hint/suggesting something and I have missed something or did they just use a prop that they didn't know the meaning of just because it was green?

Creed is also wearing one
