"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)

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.
