I would imagine that many are 'recruited' in this way. They're looking for friendship and they're sucked into the homosexual lifestyle, then think that it is their new 'normal'. This could be devastating, especially for teenagers, who are not mature enough to handle sexual experiences, that's why we encourage them NOT to engage in them! The teens may be in typical social confusion and upheaval, and along comes someone who wants to take advantage of that to please themselves. This teen is convinced that they MUST be homosexual, and that nothing will ever change that. Makes it difficult to get out of the lifestyle later because it's truly all they know.
Excellent post.
