Furthermore, the privacy analogy between being forced to live with a member of the opposite sex and a queer member of the same gender is correct. We are raised, in this culture, with a very strong personal privacy taboo around the opposite sex, and a queer person fills that role. I can't imagine how it could have been productive when I was in college to force me to live with a woman who wasn't comfortable with the idea of disrobing in front of me or me changing in front of her.
