We begin with the most common romantic orientation, which formally, and currently in many places, is known as the "norm" and considered socially acceptable. This romantic orientation is when people consider themselves straight.

Whilst heteroromantics are not included in the LGBT+ spectrum, it is important to acknowledge and appreciate those who identify as straight, as they are just as valid and important as members of the LGBT+ community.

Those who identify as straight are only attracted to those of opposite genders of themselves. For example, hetero males are strictly attracted to females and vice versa.

Someone identify as straight can and often will date someone who identities as bi, pan, omni, or other sexualities as long as they are of the opposite gender.
