Straight face

1. The act of a gay individual repressing his/her identity (including, but not limited to, their ideas, appearance and sexual attraction) for a more heterosexual one while in public.

2. Straight face is usually used when an individual does not want "others" to know that they are gay, so they may opt to take on a more "straight" persona to protect their interests. (Note: Not to be confused with being on the down low or in the closet, these specific terms do not apply).
John identifies as a gay man around his friends and family, however, at work, his co-workers believe him to be straight because he portrays himself as a "stereotypical" heterosexual male through his inadvertent qualities and/or behaviors. For an example, he may participate in conversations about sexy women, and do other things he normally would not, only to conform. This is called "straight face".

straight face test

The straight face test is a human bullshit detector. If a lie is so bogus, that it can not be uttered with a straight face, it does not pass the straight face test.
Tim: Did your wife buy that bullshit about how you buying a Harley, because they get good gas mileage for your work commute?

Sully: No dude, she saw right through it; It didn’t pass her straight face test.

Straight face gang

They were the ones on that cooking and lifestyle show that came on the news every morning. I always wondered if they were really as serious as they looked and sounded on TV all the time, even when no cameras were pointed at them, or whether they turned into gangsters or vampires at night when there were no cameras looking. You could tell by the way they looked and sounded that they wanted people to take them seriously.
The straight face gang is going to teach people how to live the good life today, and they know everything there is to know about what food goes with what lifestyle.
