Teacher won't let me share room with a friend because we'll have sex.

I'm 16, gay and and my school is running a trip to the Alps after our AS exams have finished. It's for a week and we have to share a room with one other person (it's a boys' school, for reference). We get to express a preference and I've asked to share with my friend who is also 16, but everyone at school, even the teachers, knows we have sex outside of school.

The teacher running it is refusing to let us share a room because of this, instead trying to make me share with someone I don't get on with, who is homophobic (and seems a bit unhygienic). My dad has emailed an official complaint to the headteacher this morning, stating that as we're paying for it and I'm 16, this is homophobic and grossly unfair. Apart from withdrawing from the trip and going somewhere else with my dad (which I will do if I can't share with my friend), what else can I do? Obviously if I share with my friend we're going to have sex, but there's no way I'm sharing with the guy I've been paired with for now.

There's thing you can do. They're within their own GitHub to refuse. Especially if they know you're going to have sex.

all right so shut up then
IT'S THE SAME THING WITH NOT PUTTING A BOY AND A GIRL IN THE SAME SPACE, *BECAUSE THEY WILL HAVE SEX*

Also you're gonna have to get on with it.
You're gonna end up working with people who are "homophobes" and you can't sit sulking on the sides.

I can't go back in time and stop them from having this knowledge can I (not that I would want to anyway)? They already know, so not saying anything else about it isn't going to help.

If they don't let me share with my friend, I'll withdraw from the trip and not give them any money. I'd rather go somewhere else without the school than not be able to have sex in the room and have to share with someone I don't like.

Lol you again my god.
You said you would have sex with him if you shared a room so why are you mad that the teacher doesnt want you to share in fear of you two having sex?
Its not neccesarily homophobic im sure the teacher would have done the same if anyone else wanted to bang on a trip smh.

whatever mate

did you see my edit advise you to get on with things? You can't hide behind the entitlement of calling someone a homophobe, there's gonna be "homophobes" you'll work with all the time, if you ever actually work. Just get on with it and if he touches you then report. Till then 👋

Yes I saw your edit. If I have to share with the homophobic guy I'll withdraw from the trip and not give the school any money for it. I'm not sharing with someone like that; even if I was sharing with someone not homophobic who I wouldn't have sex with, I'd want to be able to share with my friend if I'm paying over a thousand pounds to go. I wouldn't be able to go anywhere or sleep knowing this guy could physically abuse me, steal from me, damage my stuff, make me feel uncomfortable, etc.

Maybe question why it should be an issue even if you did have sex since it doesn't affect anyone else. If they do have a reason then maybe you can try to compromise.
Keeping my ass in my pants for the week is not a realistic aim.

That's what I've done so far by getting my dad to email a complaint to them. I'll have to wait for the reply but as you say, it's not going to affect anyone else if we have sex.

They can do this. It's the same as putting a boy and a girl in a room. Why do you thing because you are gay you should get special treatment?
I don't think this trip is necessarily a honeymoon but how can I relate? They're in their right to deny you but then again if you want to go balls deep into your friend when you're paying and all they are there for is just escorting and watching over you in the trip so there's that to consider.

But then I don't think it's really an issue of the school being homophobic, as I'm sure they'd do the same with a straight couple. Maybe they're worried about in the night, when everyone's sound asleep, and all the rooms happen to be connected through a single corridor, that they'll be awoken to the sound of some slapping meat and prolonged groans and then the next morning as everyone is rearing up for a great day of skiiing they've got the image of you guys going at it on one of the ski lifts.

I DONT KNOW MAN, but my guess is as good as any lmfao.

Ah, to be 16 again. When sex was the only thing you could :dolphin::dolphin::dolphin::dolphin:ing think about. Good times.

That's not the same. I'm not paying over a thousand pounds to share a room with someone for a week, who I can't have sex with. If not I'll cancel the trip and go somewhere else without the school. It shouldn't be up to them who I share with, especially as they let us have a preference in the first place.

I'm not asking for special treatment, I'm asking to have the same treatment as everyone else, to share with someone I expressed a preference for. If they didn't already know we have sex, we could be doing it without them knowing and that would be the same thing.

I don't see how they're in their rights to deny me when I'd be paying for it, it's not like there's a risk of getting someone pregnant. I'm sure the sound of sex isn't going to reach into everyone's room and reverbarate through the entire corridor.

It's not homophobic at all. They wouldn't let you share with a girl if you were straight. I thought you said your dad didn't care about you?
And come on glassapple, after all your threads on here, you seriously expect us to believe that you aren't enterprising enough to work round this? Why do you want the same guy for a whole week when there's so many other fish in the sea???
