How to use straight in a sentence?

1. The President:

   At a time when our politics are so polarized, at a time when norms and customs of political rhetoric and courtesy and comity are so often treated like they're disposable -- this is precisely the time when we should play it straight, because our Supreme Court really is unique. It's supposed to be above politics. It has to be. And it should stay that way.

2. George Clooney:

   When you talk about ‘ Making America Great Again, ’ America being great everyone assumed was the Eisenhower ‘ 50s, and it was great if you were a white, straight male, but other than that it probablywas n’tso great, it’s fun to lift up that curtain and look underneath that thin veneer and see some of the real problems that this country has yet to completely come to terms with.

3. Chris Smalls:

   Everybody's been warning me that [ this ] might happen, so I kinda expected it, but for them to do it this way, and for the reasoning behind it, that tells you right there that they, number one, don't care about people, and number two, it's just a target, a straight up target.

4. Tony Rothert:

   This school district adopted policies that make it easy for any disgruntled community member to force any book from the shelves for any reason, this plays right into the hands of those with an agenda to rid our public schools of viewpoints belonging to anyone other than straight, white men.

5. Matt Lamb:

   The school invokes a broad opposition to ‘foul language’ to keep a free-market, conservative group off of campus, the higher-ups in the school administration frequently dodged requests to speak with us, and then failed to keep their facts straight.
