Lavender marriage

A mixed-orientation marriage used to hide someone's sexual orientation; it can be done for religious reasons, reputation, preservation of things like your career or public image, etc. It is often a gay man marrying a gay woman.

"Brennan and Alyssa got married last week."
"Whoa! But I thought he was gay."
"He is, and so is she. But they're both Christians, so they got married."
"Oh, that's weird. What were the colors?"
"Lavender and rose, 'cause it was a 'lavender marriage'"
"Nice pun!"
