Resolutely oppose woman out with gay man (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

beard

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'resolutely oppose' is the first definition.
(beard can mean to face or confront)

'woman out with gay man' is the second definition.
(woman accompanying a closeted gay man)

(Other definitions for beard that I've seen before include "Vandyke, perhaps" , "hair extension" , "where food sometimes trapped?" , "SECOND PART OF 14" , "Hair on the chin" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
