Recruitment? Let me just ask, would any "truly" straight person turn gay after attending a gay seminar?

I think this is just the reaction of a few fundamentalist to what they're seeing as increasing visibility of gays in society. Those sort of people always find something to whine about. "Oh my lazy slave won't work anymore, he said he should be treated like a white person, ridiculous!," Women these days are so obscene, they'd ride bicycles and ask for right to vote, we all know they can't think for themselves!".
