[quote=Anonymous]10:21 poster here again.  I could maybe see this work out if someone who was already a well-liked and well-respected (and emotionally stable)  student  in an all-male school decided at some point late in his high-school career (maybe junior or senior year) to come out as gay and did so in a respectable manner.  Think class president or football team captain.  By that age, other boys would probably be mature enough to accept the situation.  But, at least in my (admittedly dated) experiences, it would really be suicide for an openly gay boy to start attending an all-male school with no reputation to precede him.  He wouldn't be accepted or liked, and the emotional stress would be significant.  The worst possible situation would be for someone who was not openly gay to be caught in any sort of stereotypically gay behavior, of course.

Again...I have nothing to offer that is specific to STA, but I just don't see how an all-male school would be a good environment for an openly gay boy.[/quote]
