Lavendar Relationship
When queer people pretend they're straight by marrying and/or dating someone who they can assimilate with. A person who is the person's fake lover may be helping on purpose or they may be unaware of their partner's intentions. This person who helps hide their lover's sexuality is considered a "beard" regardless of gender.
