"the phrase itself came into colloquial use during the 1920s:" I think the use of "lavender" in this sense is more modern than that, 1950s or later, but I could be wrong. The older phrase for a marriage without sex (for whatever reasons— one never asks) is a "white marriage" (French mariage à blanc) --Wetman 07:12, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Oscar Wilde's marriage must have been one heck of a "deception to hide [his] homosexuality" - they had two children.

The wiki article on Milton makes no suggestion whatsoever that his marriage was 'lavender'. A source needs to be added either here or on that page to justify his presence on this list.

The Harold Nicolson and Vita Sackville-West thing does NOT make sense. People don't change sexuality like that, and if they were engaging in same-sex love affairs, that would make them still bi. So, erm. Clarification, maybe? --76.89.173.117 (talk) 18:16, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Numerous BLP issues
Under the policies for biographies of living persons, this stuff has to have a rock-solid source or it's potential libel and must be deleted. The references to living persons I deleted were all completely unsourced. Add a reliable source for each one you add back, or don't add it at all. This article needs a ton of work, but that part can't wait.

- Removed another possible BLP; the source cited was a gossip column and didn't appear to meet the reliability criteria. I also removed a spoiler warning. The pop culture references has a potential to accumulate but for now seems illustrative. Wellspring (talk) 17:24, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Spoilers
I've removed part of the Mad Men reference as it contained a spoiler for anyone who isn't completely caught up, especially as this is a rather unexpected article to run into a spoiler on! Arianna (talk) 00:53, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
[edit] Illegal?
Is such a marriage formally illegal? Is it in practice? Andries (talk) 07:54, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Friends
on one episode of the tv show "friends", it is revealed that Pheobe had married a gay figure skater, but the details r foggy to me, but could someone look into this and add it NTC TNT (talk) 06:21, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
I remember this episode, but it turned out that he wasn't gay and wanted to try to make the marriage work. I don't know if it really belongs in this article. Arianna (talk) 04:12, 17 December 2011 (UTC)
