We all know The Village People’s classic YMCA, but seriously, in

  • the 70s,
  • the gym

had a

  • men’s dorm

with

  • shared bathrooms and showers

to make things easy for

  • young men from nowhere moving to the big city

How gay must that have been?

A related thought: how many young men moved into the dorms unknowingly and were just like “huh, so that’s what it’s like for adults in the big city, lots of gay hookups”
