I mean, yeah, but the oxymoron is the point- A gay person who doesn't act it.

A questionable choice of phrasing? Absolutely.

A problematic trope because of that? No. Well, the trope is about an offensive stereotype, but that doesn't mean there's anything wrong with the trope as used.

Anyway, the title can't change unless there's misuse or consensus.

Noted that while typing Straight Gay, i wrote Gay Straight which was Camp Straight. I don't know how many people mess up when writing it.

Okay, that's a good reason to do a wick check for both tropes.

Going to Related shows zero wicks on Gay Straight so there's no issues there.

It's been talked about in TRS but consensus is to keep it as is.
