When a straight, usually cismale, plays a gay character, especially stereotypically and offensively.

Eric Stonestreet’s character on Modern Family and Darren Criss’ entire career are straight up Pinkface.

pinkface

the cinematic phenomenon in which straight guys play gay by way of trying to “lay claim to homosexuality as a ‘topic’”

Bruno’s schtick is straight-up Pinkface...The movie attempts to claim that he’s not just a minstrel, but an instigator and investigator—like Michael Moore, but less subtle—revealing the homophobia buried in American culture.
