I am angry at the term "recruit" used so often to insinuate or flatly state that the speaker believes gay men and women are trying to dupe others, generally children, into being gay.
How does this make any sense? I was actively forced to be straight my whole life and it did not work. Since I AM gay, someone talking about heterosexuality in a positive way couldn't make me BE straight. I just read that a university level course on gay men was accused of "recruiting students into homosexuality". This kind of statement really says: we do not want you (gay men), you are not welcome here. What if someone slammed the door in your face anytime you found a safe haven?
