But does that mean they're recruiting?

Cached We finally realize that recruitment is the only answer...lesbian goals must be to recruit more lesbians." Homosexual activist Kathy McDevitt, in an appearance before the Davis City, California City Council in 1980. Davis Enterprise, October 2, 1980. "[I am] tired of the old chestnut that our movement for public acceptance has not increased and will not increase the number of gay men and lesbians in existence. ‘There are more of us than there used to be.’" Donna Minkowitz, "Recruit, Recruit, Recruit," Advocate, December 29, 1992.
Face the Truth -- "Gays" Recruit
Every day in this country, hundreds of young people try out homosexual behavior for the very first time. In some cases, these experiments are with peers, but very often the sexual partner is an older person (sometimes much older) who has already identified himself or herself as "gay." Most of us think of recruitment as the seduction of an innocent, perhaps emotionally vulnerable child or youth by an older sexual predator. Consider, however, that even homosexual experimentation between peers can be evidence of "gay" recruitment. Recruitment is a mental and emotional process that begins long before the first sexual act occurs. In the truest sense of the word, "gay" recruitment is a process of changing someone's attitude about sexuality, rendering him or her more likely to take that first step into the "gay" lifestyle. In some cases, recruitment emboldens a person to initiate a homosexual contact, in others it simply makes the person more susceptible to being seduced. In the relationship between recruitment and seduction we are not necessarily talking about pedophilia (adult/child sex), yet the process of "gay" recruitment is very similar to a tactic of pedophiles that psychologists call "grooming." In "grooming," an adult sexual predator will sometimes spend years cultivating a relationship with a child, leading him or her into a sexual relationship only after the child has been thoroughly emotionally and mentally prepared. "Gay" recruitment is like "grooming," but it doesn't only occur on a one-to-one basis. The most insidious "gay" recruitment is being conducted by "gay" propagandists as a nationwide marketing and public relations campaign. In this campaign, all of our children are being "groomed" at the same time: their attitudes about homosexuality are being changed by one-sided, pro-"gay" propaganda in public education, in television programming, in movies, in music, in advertising, and in every other attitude-shaping institution influenced by "gay" activists.
Understanding this simple truth greatly increases our chances of protecting our children from homosexuality. Recruitment begins in the mind and in the emotions; it begins when a person is persuaded to consider trying homosexual behavior. Not every young person who concludes that "gay" is normal will experiment with homosexuality. Neither will every child who experiments become exclusively "gay." Yet we know that all children explore life's possibilities. When homosexuality is presented as a normal option (instead of being discouraged), many will experiment with it who otherwise wouldn't. Some of those will choose to stay in the "gay" lifestyle, or remain trapped there by this strongly addictive sexual behavior.
