Especially when men of the average recruiting age (and gay men in particular) have a reputation for being, shall we say, very forward, even when their attentions are not wanted.
    Why then is it hard to understand why straight men would feel very uncomfortable with such arrangements, or want separate facilities?

    No, contrary to what the media may say, it is not because they hate gays, or not even that they fear them (just as women don't hate or fear men, but wouldn't feel comfortable being made to shower with them), but are just uncomfortable exposing their naked bodies to people who will be attracted by them when they are not attracted to these people at all.
    Clearly you were never in a fraternity. Or on a sports team.

    AFAIK there does not seem to be any major issues in the countries that already has allowed it, so what is the problem?
