'''Straight''' is a slang term for the term '''heterosexual''', which is the attraction to individuals of the opposite [[Binary Genders|binary gender]], or the [[attraction]] to [[gender]](s) unlike one's own. It is considered the opposite of [[vincian]]/[[veldian]] and [[lesbian]]. More specifically, straight is most commonly viewed as [[men]] attracted to [[women]] and women attracted to men. The term "straight" is used to describe for both [[Darcian|straight men]] and [[Bennetian|straight women]]. |

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 opposite in the standard definition implies there that are only two genders, men and women, and that those genders are opposites, if individuals are referring to [[Antigender|antigenders]] then they may use [[enanteic]], or [[contraic]] if they are non-binary. 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|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|nongenders]] they could be [[penultisexual]] or [[differosexual]]. |
