The term "beard" in this context originated from the practice of using a heterosexual individual to disguise someone's sexual orientation, particularly in the LGBTQ+ community. It refers to someone who acts as a cover for another person's sexual identity, often to help them conform to societal norms or avoid discrimination. The metaphorical use likely stems from the idea of a "beard" concealing something, much like a physical beard can mask one's face. The phrase has gained broader usage in pop culture and discussions about identity and authenticity.
