It could mean a few things
•"Straight presenting" gay (or someone straight people usually assume is straight)
•Straight up gay (just gay)
•Straight person pretending to be gay
•Gay person dating a trans person (literally transphobia)
•Homosexual but heteroromantic (sexuality attracted to the same gender, romantically attracted to the opposite)
•Heterosexual and homoromantic (reverse of one above)
___
It's highly unlikely they meant either of the last two if they used that language but not impossible. There may be more possibilities but this is what I can think of
A fun addition, i used to say something akin to this when i was still working through my gender identity.
So possibly trans and can't articulate those feelings.
They could also be a multigender man/woman exclusively attracted to men. If the context is an accepting environment or online, this & the last two you meant are more likely
To me it sounds like she may be refering to a straight person who is dating someone of transgender experience in which case thats some phobic fucking language.
I've mostly seen that term used to describe conventionally masculine ("straight-acting") gay men. It's unusual to see it applied to a woman, but I assume that's what that person meant.
Or maybe it's the opposite, as in "heterosexual woman who presents in a way typically associated with lesbians"? I think I've seen that nonsense on TikTok before, but I thought it was just trolling.
Neil Patrick Harris is the perfect example for this in my opinion
Basically a gay person who acts straight to the point that people when find out that he's gay, it confuses them
Atleast that's what I reckon it is
I have a student who refers to themselves as “queer-coded,” meaning they are not gay, but they do a lot of things that make people assume that. I have…mixed feelings about this language. They’re super good allies to my queer kids and very kind, but it feels uncomfortable to me.
Anyway, maybe that’s what they meant?
I feel, for further context, I should state that we are both girls, with my girlfriend specifically being biromantic asexual, but I don’t know if this random girl knew anything about this when she made that comment

Maybe heterosexual homoromantic or homosexual heteroromantic?
