So, daughter went on summer camp for a couple of weeks. Boys and girls in different huts. Adults make every effort to ensure boys and girls are never within each others personal space let alone go in each others dormitories or shower areas etc etc. DD then raised the issue that she thinks it is wrong that boys and girls are kept so separate but lesbians can share a room as can gay boys. She has - as do most teens - many gay friends and has never had an issue before but this year was the first year she raised the issue of showering and changing and sleeping arrangements. It's not something I'd ever thought about before. Why are boys and girls separated for showering and sleeping? Privacy, modesty, sexual reasons? If so, is she being unreasonable to feel uncomfortable to have to shower, change and sleep with lesbian girls who openly tell girls, gay or straight, they fancy them?
