Homosexualities [33] emphasized the importance of a towel:. Visiting a downtown gay bath was in many ways like revisiting a high-school gym — everyone wearing the same towel, in the same color, on the same part of the body. There was no status consciousness in the social-stratification sense; the towel or loincloth created a sort of equal-status social group. Bathhouses are usually dimly lit and play music, although an outdoors, enclosed rooftop or pool area is not uncommon.
