straight acting

A term used to describe a non-straight person who acts, or is perceived to be, straight. Typically used in relation to gay and bisexual men that are not ‘obviously’ gay or bisexual, that are gender conforming and would generally be mistaken as being ‘straight’ by others – particularly in regards to mannerisms, behaviours and presentations that are typical of straight males.
