The San Francisco gay softball team has been disqualified from the Gay World Series for violating the rule that each team is only allowed to have two straight people on the team. However, none of the six contested team members have identified themselves as straight, just that they aren't gay.

The way the story is being presented, as well as the discussion in the comments section on other blogs assume that these players are straight. But there are a lot of options other than gay or straight. They could just as easily be bisexual, heteroflexible, homoflexible, pansexual, queer, and so on.
