RadarSystems and MediaClassifications seem to cover a lot of the same ground, can we merge both tropes and then rebuild a better structure for it?

Well, from what I can tell \\\"StraightGay\\\" is in reference to the unstereotypical majority of gay men who are \\\"straight-acting\\\" -- that their behavior is indistinguishable from everyone else. I can see how it could potentially be insensitive to term it that way, since I couldn\\\'t straight-act for the life of me. I see how \\\"straight\\\" in such a case have be interpreted to mean \\\"heteronormative\\\", and thus have UnfortunateImplications. But it seems that \\\"straight\\\" can also simply mean \\\"common; ordinary\\\". Since the word is broad enough to run either extreme, it\\\'s possible that a rename could someday be truly necessary, but I don\\\'t know for now. If I \\\'\\\'had\\\'\\\' to think of an appropriate new name for this trope, it would be InconspicuouslyGay.
Anyway, non-straight-acting doesn\\\'t automatically mean effeminate either -- CampGay tends to be effeminate, but HardGay tends to be very masculine, even macho (but still lights up {{Gaydar}} like a Christmas tree). But none of these are supposed to be 100% realistic -- StraightGay, CampGay and HardGay are more like stereotypical extremes. For instance, I\\\'m somewhere inbetween this triangle of extremes, though I\\\'m probably closest overall to HardGay.
