And I kept my room straight

from Macklemore and Ryan Lewis (Ft. Macklemore & Mary Lambert) – Same Love Lyrics on Rap Genius

When Macklemore was young he thought he was gay because he kept his room neat and wasn’t messy like other boys his age. He thought that being neat and artistic could mean he was gay because of the stereotypes he was fed.

Also, some nice wordplay with the use of the word ‘straight’, which is the opposite of homosexual.
