straight acting


1. conventionally masculine. describes a h-m-s-xual male whose behaviour resembles that of the traditional heteros-xual or straight male stereotype. often considered politically incorrect (or even h-m-phobic) as a label, but can be used facetiously. may apply to gay males who exhibit conventional masculinity out of a genuine predisposition, as well as to those who affect it out of insecurity (sometimes to remain in the closet).
2. the gay male equivalent of the lipstick lesbian. as a social phenomenon, the “straight acting” h-m-s-xual breaks from gay stereotypes in a way comparable to the metros-xual’s defiance of straight stereotypes. (both labels rely on stereotypes in order to be understandable, even as they describe non-stereotypical behaviour.)
1. “i’ve never considered myself downright flaming, but my straight acting boyfriend makes me look sooo f-ggy.”
2. “he’s so straight acting he p-ssed by my gaydar undetected.”
3. “i hate the term ‘straight acting.’ i mean, who’s to say that straight people aren’t trying to act like us?”
straight-acting is a term used to describe a person who does not exhibit the appearance or mannerisms of the gay stereotype.
