Obviously I can see how it's problematic since the word "straight" implies normalcy as if it was weird or abnormal to be gay or anything else really As far as I understand it, gay people actually perverted the term from it's original and then current use to describe their sexual orientation. It's not like gay meant wrong and straight meant right or something. At the time I believe that straight typically just meant a serious person or something similar to that.
