Abstract

The author examines the reality dating show Playing It Straight (2004), in which a female contestant looking for love must determine the sexual orientation of her male suitors. The show transforms heteronormativity into a literal performance, thereby revealing how the construction of heterosexuality is dependent on the recognition and subsequent exclusion of homosexuality.
