straightsplaining 

Condescending explanation of something about the LGBTQ+ community and/or experience by a cishet person to a member of the community.
Cishet: You can't be gay, I have a gay friend and you're nothing like them. Gay people are *insert stereotype*
Non-cishet: Please stop straightsplaining my own sexuality.

Straightsplaining 

When a straight person explains something obvious in a condescending or patronizing way to belittle a person who isn’t straight.
Misogynist: did you know water is a liquid
Gay: yes I did idiot quit Straightsplaining

Straightzone 

1. When a LGB person is in a friendship with a straight person, but makes it clear up front that their relationship cannot mature beyond a designated limit, simply because they are straight.
2. A safe emotional distance LGB people can keep from their straight friends.
3. A term LGB people use to advert to their relationship with Allies.
"I feel like Matthew isn't being really open with me, maybe it's because I'm straight?"
"Dude, you totally got straightzoned!"
-
"Selena, why don't you trust me, is it because I'm not gay?"
"I always have one in mind about straight people."
"So this means I'm in the straightzone."
-
"I wanna come with you at the gay bar."
"I would rather you don't."
"Straightzoned again..."

straightsplaining 

Another "woke" word that doesn't mean anything particular. It's just another mish mash of words used to discredit white heterosexual males.
"Woke" person: White cis men are straightsplaining again.
Chad: Stfu lol.
