Special:Badtitle/NS90:Forum:Trope Talk/Propose a better name for Straight Gay/reply (13)

My comment was about letting that person be the final arbiter for if the new name is a good one. I don't think I should go into the messy details right now.

I have considered the trope some more. "Normal Person Gay"? Or even better: "Normal Person, also Gay"? The heart of the trope is that someone who isn't a gay stereotype is by default perceived as straight, even when that person isn't actually in the closet and the matter of sexual preference has just never come up. The issue with the old name is that it conflates being straight and being a normal, well-rounded person who is more than a pre-defined narrow stereotype.

Though, apparently according to the trope article some gays like to act according to the stereotypes for reasons of identity, even when portraying those stereotypes in the media is considered negative stereotyping... "Non-Stereotype Gay"?

Eh, probably best to go with the under the radar stuff then... "Invisible to Gaydar"? That one doesn't imply that someone is intentionally trying to act stealthy and suppress their stereotypical gay traits, instead of just acting like a normal person who incidentally happens to be gay.
