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]]. |

While straight is often used to describe non-[[LGBTA+|LGBT]] individuals it is possible for straight individuals 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. There are many nonbinary people who also identify as straight, or other genderqueer straight people. [[Straight Queer|Someone could also identify as straight while still having queer relationships]]. |
