Straight acting
Straight acting (also known as "straight-acting") is a slang term used to describe a person who does not exhibit the appearance or mannerisms of the gay stereotype. Although the label is used by and reserved almost exclusively for gay and bisexual men, it may also be used to describe a lesbian with stereotypical feminine appearance and mannerisms. The label is most often used by those who do not self-identify with the traditional, standardized perception of gay men. Because the term invokes negative stereotypes of gay people, its application is often controversial and may cause offense.
