Right wing "historian" David Barton recently opined that if gay marriage were legalized, it would lead to "men and women being forced to share the same locker room in college athletics."

For reasons that don't bear much storytelling, I spent several years attending events in which men and women shared the same showering space. I used a fairly large communal shower, sharing it with straight men and women, gay men and women, and there was never a problem. The shower was simply a way of getting clean and presentable to return to the real world after a weekend in the woods. The idea that we need separate showers for the sexes is, well, a historical artifact imposed mostly by Old Testament purists.
