The Chinese character is 正 (zhèng), signifying "just", "correct", "straight". This character makes all these words synonymous. The one who is truly "straight" is one who stays on the mystical path of non-attachment, which Tao calls "non-doing". Thus, it is the one who transcends his attachments, his ego and draws from the Mother within (instead of clinging to things, to the outward, to attachments), this one is said to be "straight".
The word "straight" is related to the words "correct" and "just" in Chinese. "Straight" is associated with "virtue", also in the Bible. Society has imposed its prejudices upon this, and it associates "straight" with what it considers virtuous.
The gay person who is one with his eternal Nature, understanding himself to transcend all labels, is "straight" in Tao and Biblical wisdom. As well, the one who says he is straight but is not in harmony with his Nature is deceiving himself.
@massage33316 Thanks very much for your insights, Mike! I appreciate their wisdom. Interesting parallel between Chinese and Hebrew, where the word for 'right' or 'str8' (tzedeq) is often associated with wholeness. Unfortunately, tzedeq is often translated as 'righteous' and that word has gained the connotation of 'self-righteous' or of a humanly impossible standard to achieve. I think tzedeq is closer to what you said about the Chinese word. Thanks! :)

Nice to hear from you, Jonathan. I missed you.
