I believe you are.  Surely there _are_ gay saunas, and if you come
across a sauna in Shinjuku 2-chome it probably is, but there are way
too many saunas around for them to be all gay.  Most saunas are just
places for men to hang out and relax.  They go in the ofuro, sit and
relax in a chair, take another dip, sleep....
