IF Spike TV is strictly for heterosexual, beer-swilling guys, Bravo has become the channel for gay, tasteful guys.

And it has a real winner with “Boy Meets Boy,” which does the exact opposite of “Queer Eye.”

Instead of celebrating the stereotyping of gay men, “Boy Meets Boy,” is a reality dating show where a gorgeous gay man gets to live with and pick the love of his life after living in a house with a bunch of would-be suitors. It’s like “The Bachelor” except that everyone is a bachelor.

The rub – no pun intended – is that some of the gay men are really straight men pretending to be gay.

If James “the bachelor” picks a gay man, he and his new love get an all-expense paid trip and $25G’s. However, if he picks a straight man, the straight guy gets the dough.

James, who went into the series not knowing the twist, was told sometime later.

The finale is really an edge-of-the-seater because the viewers are not let in on who is straight or gay until James himself is told, which some critics say is offensive. Oh puleezzze! If you go on a reality show to find a mate, you deserve to be tricked. I mean, who in their right mind would actually look for love this way? It’s a lark, sure, but it’s not real life, for God’s sake.

What you will get from this show is the fact that most gay men are not flamboyant, screaming queens who – like a bad toupee – can be spotted from a mile away.

Most gay men are just regular guys whose sexual preference tends to be for other regular guys. “Boy Meets Boy” only proves that we’re all the same, and that, as Martha would say, is a good thing.
