Putting a positive spin on it.

I have decided that, if the film of GoF is uncanonically portraying Durmstrang and Beauxbatons as old-fashioned in their lack of co-educational status, this means that the homoerotica in both schools is rampant--and that Hogwarts is by comparison a hotbed of progressiveness and so there's even less homophobia there than we slashers pretend, in our giddy fandom brains.

So meh.

Yeeah, that was a little strange.

I think it's just Viktor, Igor and (possibly) Filch in that one cap. :D

Actually, though, in the books did they mention any female Durmstrang students?

Yes, there was a girl briefly mentioned in GoF but I can't find the exact page now.

I don't recall Durmstang girls being specified, but it does not state that all are boys; that's something that I think would have been, had it been so. After all, the students are described in the same way that the Beauxbatons students are, and an occasional male Beauxbatons student is mentioned.
