Gay men and Gym Class Any other gay guys loathe high school gym class? Pretty much every gay guy I knew in high school hated it. What’s more, it was kinda... a waste of school time. There’s not a single thing I gained from that class that I carried over into adulthood. It seems at best it’s one of those classes that best fits as an elective. Thank God we were only required to take it the first two years, then we could drop it.
