Gay, Straight or Taken? is a classic dating game show that aired on Lifetime in 2007. The show features one woman who is looking for love and gets to choose from three potential suitors. The twist? One of the men is gay, one is straight, and one is already in a committed relationship.

The show's host, Laura Niles, introduces the woman, who shares a little bit about herself and what she's looking for in a partner. Then, the three men are introduced one by one. Through a series of questions and challenges, the woman must try to figure out which man is which.

Elle Young, the show's relationship expert, provides commentary and advice throughout the episode. She offers insight into the men's behavior and helps the woman make informed decisions.

Each man gets his own segment where he gets to spend time with the woman, show off his personality, and try to win her heart. The activities they do together range from simple conversations to more adventurous outings.

At the end of the show, the woman must decide which man she wants to date. If she picks the straight man, they get to go on a date together. If she picks the gay man or the taken man, they get a prize instead.

Damian F. Sandolo is the show's resident expert on body language. He analyzes the way the men behave around the woman and tries to determine who might be the best match for her.

Gay, Straight or Taken? is a fun and light-hearted show that takes a unique approach to the classic dating game genre. It's filled with humor, drama, and plenty of surprises as the woman tries to navigate her way to finding love. The show's focus on the diversity of relationships and sexual orientations makes it a groundbreaking addition to the dating TV landscape.
