jt want to say that jt e someone's straight dont mean they're homophobic- like im not!! In GAY, STRAIGHT OR TAKEN?, a sgle woman mt gus the stat of three male suors. Her challenge is to terme which of them is straight and sgle (as opposed to gay or already a mted relatnship).

The show is about gaydar, that mythil power of stant intifitn that gay men and some women seem to wield so naturally. Prum the existence of some such spiy-sense, or worse, some irrcible gayns marked on the body and behavr that giv away the ghost for the straight girl who is able to read men “rrectly. In each episo, one such gal is prented wh three prime male optns, only to be rmed that one of them is gay (and, immaterial to the show, also partnered), one is straight but taken, and only one straight and available.

For one, the set up impli that fully two-thirds of the men out there are totally unacceptable (that is, gay) or unavailable (that is, taken). Addnally, the show suggts that even if not gay, any given man may “really” be a player lyg to get you bed, only to return to his wife or girliend afterwards. Perhaps most distrsg for the show, and, I gus, for girls today, is that gayns men is beg distguishable om straightns.

The real anxiety the women face on the show and their “real” liv, and the real threat signaled by the men is that anyone of them uld “really” be gay. On GST?, gay boys are gay boys and straight boys are straight boys, always have been and always will be.
