This discussion has popped up a few times on the Straight Gay discussion page. I don't think "Straight Gay" is a well-chosen title for this trope - first, it's a bit of an oxymoron. Second, it has Unfortunate Implications when it comes to the way "straight" is being used here (apparently to mean "normal", or "non-stereotypical.") I propose the name gets changed to Inconspicuously Gay.

Locking for failure to prove misuse or underuse. Tropes must pass qualifications to be renamed.

Reality is that, which when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. -Philip K. Dick
