text: A heterosexual who has some homosexual tendencies is described as someone with a dash of lavender.In the 1970s pink became more often associated with homosexuality because of the use of the pink triangle as a symbol of gay liberation. However, gays of the baby boom generation still think of lavender as the gayest color. According to some sources, the reason lavender symbolizes homosexuality is because it is the color that is obtained when pink (the color symbolizing girls) is mixed with baby blue (the color symbolizing boys). Lavender roses are sometimes given by LGBT people to each other on Valentine's Day or may be given to those entering into a same-sex marriage. A lavender marriage is a marriage between a man and a woman in which one, or both, parties are, or are assumed to be, homosexual. Usually, but not always, both parties are assumed to be complicit in a public deception to hide their homosexuality (although in some lavender marriages, the marriage partners may be bisexual). In the bandana code of the gay leather subculture, wearing a lavender bandana symbolizes that the wearer has a fetish for dressing in drag.
