If you call someone a straight heterosexual, does that mean you're calling them gay? ?

It's a double negative. It's like saying I'm not not gay, which would actually mean I'm gay. So is a straight heterosexual gay?

    That's a tautology, a redundancy, not a double negative.

    No it means you do not know what a tautology is. 

    Neither is a negative, and they are alternatives, not opposites.
