I am shocked and bereft to hear than American manhood has sunk to such a state. I am especially appalled to hear of healthy American women misled and frustrated by such dronish and flaccid counterfeits. Myself, and other like-minded volunteers, would be anxious to know where we may find them, that we might offer ourselves in sacrifice to the Goddess. God, yes! ---

> [@SnakesCatLady](#): > > Think part of the “recruitment” misconception is because of the “Christians” who simply will not accept that homosexuals are born that way - they don’t make a conscious choice to be gay. They may make a conscious choice to openly admit their orientation, but the orientation itself isn’t a choice. If the “Christian” admits that people are born that way, then :::horrors::: maybe “God” made them that way! Which could possibly lead to the even more horrifying thought that maybe “God” doesn’t hate homosexuals. So in their world, people choose to be gay. > > There are several “letters to the editor” writers here who are always going off on homosexuals, how allowing them to marry will destroy the sacred institution of marriage (when it appears heterosexuals are doing a fine job of that already), so on and so forth. I got so irritated one night after reading that BS I sent a e-mail to the “Sound Off” column asking why these so-called “Christians” were doing spending so much time worrying about what other people were doing in the privacy of their own bedrooms. Dunno if the “Christians” have a monopoly on this mindset, but the action/reaction is similar to that seen in regard of evolution. Evolution and homosexuality, as far as they are currently understood, present huge challenges to the more conservative branches of religion and a lot of their reaction is that _they just want the problem to go away_; it’s not even that they think they have the answer, and they think their answer is better than anyone else’s anymore; I think they pretty much know it _isn’t_, but the next best thing to winning is having your opponents give up or disappear before they beat you. ---

On more than once occasion, gay men have used the following line in their attempts to reel in a breeder: > > _How do you know you won’t like it if you haven’t tried it before?_ > > The line is probably included in the “Responses to the Reluctant” apologetics guide that is standard issue to all gay recruiters. > > 😃 As was noted by someone else, gay guys hardly have a monopoly on that line.

But something just occured to me. Maybe Limbaugh was referring to gay rights activists recruiting people to become members of their gay rights advocacy group. "You get your own rainbow sticker and get to participate in lots of exciting marches and demonstrations… …and afterwards, the anal sex! Ohwhatagiveaway!" :eek: [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/gays-admit-they-recruit/368248.md?page=5)
