Straightway 

Almost the same thing as a gaytway. The difference is that a straightway is someone who is used to help someone else look less gay by being involved in a relationship with them. This person is the opposite sex, or simply not the same sex, as the person being “helped”. The person “helping” is not aware that they are being used.
Person 1: did you see that gay boy Anthony is dating that hot cheerleader?

Person 2: yes, but she’s just his straightway. He’s trying to prove to his cholos that he’s not a homosexual.

Person 1: Oh my gosh you and Jeffry are so cute together! Ima cry at how cute you two are!
Person 2: Tina ;-; I already told you I’m just trying to prove to my parents that I’m not a lesbian. He’s just my straightway.
