I was sent to several private military schools starting at age 11. I hadn't gotten hair yet,
so I was little out of place with the rest of the guys. All three schools that I went to had open showers. You wore your towel to and from the bathrooms and then put them on a hook until you headed back to your room. The second school I went to didn't have doors to the bedrooms and no light switches. Being gay back then, in manly military schools, was a hanging offense.

I am sure it went on - but also sure they were careful that no one ever found out!

It is amazing to see how open kids are about it now - gay/straight alliance clubs in school - coming out publicly on Youtube - all steps we never would have dared do when I was a kid.
