Tell me this -- if gay people tried to "recruit" you, would you fall for it? I doubt it, and neither would I. My point is that the idea that Maya Keyes, as a college student, was somehow "recruited" into the gay lifestyle is ridiculuous.
Many young woman who go to college have led very sheltered lives in structured households. The main focus has been academic, not her social life or "self-discovery". Many women have never had a date by the time they go to college. If you have never had a date, not thought much about your sexual orientation and look at life from an intellectual versus emotional point of view, you can be very vulnerable to someone who says, "You subconsciously put yourself in this college because you know deep-down that you're gay and just haven't come out yet." Your best friends are female (after all, that's all you find in a women's college), the need to compete for attention from the male community is absent, as well as positive (and potentially sexually-charged) male feedback.
Is it possible? Yes. We had a cousin as well as sister-in-law "converted" after the break-up of two bitter marriages. The logic for this? "Well, I'm such a failure with men, maybe I should have been with a woman all along." And these gals were over-40!
