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.
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. 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]].
