My youngest and his friends were "gifted" boys and I can't imagine any of them wanting to attend an optional seminar on homosexuality. In fact, it seems to me that they would have to be forced under great duress to attend such a seminar, if they were to go at all.
The only way I can imagine heterosexual teenagers accepting the molestation is (1) they were desperate for "father figures" or (2) they were taught to never dispute an adult or authority figure. Otherwise, I have no idea. Of course, I have no idea why some women allow their husbands to molest their daughters either.
Pedophiles, ephebophiles, and pederasts do have an idea. They've been practicing it for 2600 years, since the days when Athenian fathers had to provide their sons a pedagogue when they went to gymnasium. Pederasts were always hanging around the ball court, trying to initiate conversations with the boys.
Getting boys to "come across" is an ancient, ancient art with pederasts. That you should express skepticism in the face of such a lengthy accumulation of human experience with deviancy is frankly surprising.
Of course, I have no idea why some women allow their husbands to molest their daughters either.
"Allow" assumes the mothers know what's going on. Usually, they don't.

Wake up! Now days all that the PC crowd has to do is say "you're a homophobe" or "you're not tolerant" and dare them to go or be considered a bad element of modern society. Great duress is applied by teachers and peers alike to be PC and accept homosexual predators as normal. The Gay agenda is cruising at full speed ahead.
Most kids wouldn't want to attend such a seminar, but they are coerced into it.
