An alternate definition of straight is someone who is attracted to those of a different gender, or someone who is attracted to gender(s) unlike one's own. The usage of the word
A relationship between two individuals of dissimilar gender is often called straight; however, this is not always accurate as one or both individuals might be [[Pluralian|multisexual]]. A relationship between a woman and a man can be called [[duaric]] instead of straight, and [[ultramoric]] if one is [[unstraight]]. A relationship with two individuals of different genders caused by one of the parties being non-binary can be called [[diamoric]]. Non-binary individuals who feel they are straight but in a uniquely non-binary way may identify as [[strayt]]. If someone is attracted to multiple [[nongender]]s they could be [[penultisexual]] or [[differosexual]].

The usage of the word "opposite" in the standard definition implies there that are only two genders, men and women, and that those genders are opposites. A relationship between two people of different gender is often called "straight" however this is not always accurate as one or both people might be [[Pluralian|multisexual]]. A relationship with two people of different genders caused by one of the parties being [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] can be called [[diamoric]]. Non-binary people who feel they are straight but in a uniquely non-binary way may identify as [[strayt]].
▲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.
