Straight acting is a slang term used to describe a gay or bisexual man (or, rarely, a lesbian), having the appearance, mannerisms , etc., of a stereotypical heterosexual of the same sex rather than those associated with gay men or lesbians. [1][2] The label is most often used by those who do not self-identify with the traditional, standarized perception of gays.[3] Because the term invokes negative images of gay people, its application is often controversial and may cause offense.[4]
