[[File:F95B58A4-06F5-432A-9091-0B3B1268A089.jpg|thumb|An alternate straight flag. |alt=]]'''Straight''' is a slang term for '''heterosexual''', which is the attraction to people of the "opposite" gender, or the attraction to gender(s) unlike one's own. It is considered the opposite of [[gay]] and [[lesbian|lesbian.]] More specifically straight is most commonly used to mean men attracted to women and women attracted to men. The term "straight" is used to describe for both straight men and straight women.
Line 7 ⟶ 5:
While straight is often used to describe non-[[LGBTA+|LGBT]] people it is possible for straight people to be part of the LGBT community. For example, they might be [[transgender]]. They also might be, [[asexual]] heteroromantic, or [[aromantic]] heterosexual, which also makes them LGBT. The last four flags were made to serve the [[LGBT+|LGBT]] straights.

The prefix hetero- comes from the Greek word heteros, meaning "different". The term "''heterosexual''" was coined shortly after and as the opposite to "homosexual".
