这篇文章认为，第四频道的节目“玩直”（2005年）的主题，一个变异的“约会节目”类型，其中一个女选手必须选择她的梦想的人从10个追求者。然而，节目形式的转折是，并不是所有的男人都是异性恋。文章认为，该节目的叙事不是同性恋恐惧症，而是女性恐惧症。其次，文章分析了该节目如何将所有的男性参赛者，无论是同性恋还是异性恋，置于新小伙子风格的同性社会纽带的矩阵中。最后，文章认为，该节目如何调动在当代流行文化的主导文化主题之一：“安全的色情”或“酷儿”友谊，可以发展之间的一个直女人和一个同性恋身份的人。
This article considers the theme of the Channel 4 show 'Playing It Straight' (2005), a variation on the 'dating show' genre in which a female contestant must select the man of her dreams from 10 suitors. However, the twist in the show's format is that not all of the men are heterosexually identified. The article contends that the show's narrative is not homophobic but effeminophobic. Second, the article analyses how the show positions all the male contestants, both gay and straight, within the matrix of New Lad style homosocial bonding. Finally, the article considers how the show mobilises one of the dominant cultural themes in contemporary popular culture: the 'safe eroticism' or 'queer' friendship that can develop between a straight woman and a gay identified man.
