Gay dressing room
changing (or change) room
Change roomappears to be the most common term used here. GoodLife Fitness gyms across the country (at least the ones Ive been to) all say change room.
View discretion is advised
However, if were talking about gay bathhouses or saunas, then sexual orientation may arrive into play just a small, since there does not remain any "straight" bathhouses where straight people meet up to verb anonymous sex. If they carry out exist, theyre likely very exceptional. Doing a quick Google verb, I get the impression that the preferred term is locker room, where there are lockers in which you can position your clothes and belongings while you goentertain yourself
[EDIT: In proof, the general procedure seems to be that you either rent a locker or a personal room. You can put your stuff in your locker or just take it with you to your room and obtain undressed there. There seems to be little mention of a locker roomitself, but I can only imagine that theres a room at the front with lockers, designated as the locker room.]
If we want to be technical, per
Should gay guys be in seperate changing rooms from straight guys in the gym?
Jello Biafra said:
If youre using a public changing room, you implicitly give up the right to not be looked at by other people. That applies equally to everyone. If the expectation is that everyone will be naked, than you own no right to ask others to remove themselves because they might be attracted to your naked body.
Of course, the OP does think it is his heteronormative right to seek gays to exclude themselves from the male sex because of the actions of a limited individuals. Individual cases of harassment can be dealt with, but a blanket discrimination policy is illegitimate.Click to expand

I already adressed this in my post.
But to his question:
""I hate gays who peek/stare at me in the gym changing room, am I homophobic?""
"" Im sick of seeing gay men peeking""
""I felt disgusted but yet

And if you’ve ever been in a dressing room or locker with a group of people, you’ve already done it so you shouldn’t worry over it.

Esco:No, you just divide change room into two parts, one is for the guys who are comfortable showering with gays, and the other for the ones who are not.
There are several practical, legal, and philosophical problems with your plan.
