	Lavender marriage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lavender marriage is a term coined to describe a marriage between a man and a woman in which one, or both, parties are, or are assumed to be, homosexual.
		Although there have been a number of prominent lavender marriages in history, the phrase itself came into colloquial use during the 1920s, when the imposition of morality clauses into the contracts of Hollywood actors caused some homosexual stars to enter into marriages of convenience to protect their public reputations, and preserve their careers.
		The destruction of the career of MGM actor William Haines, who refused to end his relationship with his male partner Jimmy Shields, and enter into a marriage at MGM's discretion, was said to have caused a spate of couples to seek refuge in marriage.

	Observer \| Lavender marriage
		Admittedly, lavender belonged more to the former category - hence its association with aged aunts dabbing their throbbing brows with lavender water, or repelling moths with dusty sachets of dried lavender.
		A few tender lavenders, like Lavender canariensis, L candicans, L pinnata, L dentata and L viridis can taste of eucalyptus, so if you are uncertain, simply crush and sniff a leaf before buying.
		Gordon Ramsay - clearly a lavender man - argues in his book A Chef for All Seasons (£25, Quadrille) that dried lavender has a more intense flavour than fresh - but beware if it is too old - like any dried herb, it can impart a slightly musty flavour to a dish.

		Truth 1 - Ending marriage discrimination is, first and foremost, about couples in love who have made a personal commitment to each other, who are doing the hard work of marriage in their lives, caring for one another and their kids, if any.
		If this struggle were "just" about marriage, it would be important, for marriage is the gateway to a vast and otherwise largely inaccessible array of tangible and intangible protections and responsibilities, the vocabulary in which non-gay people talk about love, clarity, security, respect, family, intimacy, dedication, self-sacrifice, and equality.
		And the debate over marriage is the engine of other advances and the inescapable context in which we will be addressing all LGBT needs, the inescapable context in which we will be claiming our birthright of equality and enlarging possibilities for ourselves and others.

		Some states recognize common-law marriage -- "[a] marriage that takes legal effect, without license or ceremony, when a couple live together as husband and wife, intend to be married, and hold themselves out to others as a married couple." Black's Law Dictionary 986 (7th ed.
		We consider claims of common-law marriage with regard to the law of the state in which the alleged relationship began.
		Whether a common-law marriage exists or not is a question of fact, and the burden is on the party asserting the validity of the marriage to show that it actually existed.

		The government can either approve gay marriages (which is a statement that it must be okay - going against the moral beliefs of those opposed to it) or not (going against the moral beliefs of those in favor of it).
		I think that there are unrelated reasons to be opposed to gay marriage, but for its proponents to say that "the slippery slope" is never going to be a concern here, is, in my opinion, foolish at best, and dishonest at worst.

		Most commonly, dictionaries define marriage in terms of spouses, spouses in terms of husband and wife, and husband and wife in terms of marriage.
		In most dictionaries marriage is defined in these terms, although at times any reference to "spouses" is dropped, but the point remains.(2) Dictionary definitions usually focus on the concepts of husband and wife and spend little time explaining anything about the actual nature of marriage.
