@tsarstepan,
I whole-heartedly agree with you , tsar.
These all boys schools (I mentioned earlier) were trade schools. Many of the (just about all male teachers) would have thought such games were fine.
I don't think you'd want to be in that environment if you were a gay student, trust me.
Luckily most of such institutions are a thing of the past. I certainly (as one of a handful of young women teachers, at school #1, anyway) had to toughen up considerably to continue work there. A very confronting experience.
