When a gay person marries a straight person of the opposite sex in an attempt to hide the fact that he/she is gay. The straight partner does not usually know (or is in denial) that their intended partner is gay.
"Wow I am so surprised that Kyle is marrying Stephanie. I totally thought Kyle was gay."
"Kyle's as gay as a picnic basket, dude. He doesn't want his dad to know he's gay, so he's marrying a woman."
"Does Stephanie know?"
"Nope. She thinks he's straight. This is a cover marriage."
"That's chapped, man.
"Word."
