"Lavender Haze" was referenced by gay poet James Schuyler (the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry winner of 1981) in his poem "Sunday". There is no official quote from him as to why he used the term "lavender haze", but the color has a long history of being associated with the LGBT+ community.
"Sunday" by James Schuyler
The mint bed is in
bloom: lavender haze
day. The grass is
more than green and
throws up sharp and
cutting lights to
slice through the
plane tree leaves. And
on the cloudless blue
I scribble your name.
