"Homosexual recruitment" is a conspiracy theory and/or moral panic spun by some extremely creepy people of the wingnut tendency. It is usually considered to be part of a larger homosexual agenda.

[edit] The nuts

It posits that there is a concerted effort by the gay population to place large numbers of gay teachers in schools. Then, drawing from their idea that homosexual tendencies are acquired in youth, it goes on to claim that said gay teachers are there to seduce children and turn them gay.

It also draws on pseudo-psychological quackery regarding pedophilia. This form of bullshit posits the notion that gay men are all pedophiles and molest little boys; "pedophile" being used very broadly to refer to "anyone sexually attracted to an individual between 0 and 17 years of age, inclusive." They allegedly engage in this molestation because they know that such abuse will turn the children gay later in life, thus, the gay man "recruits" because he cannot reproduce. [1] For this reason, fundamentalist wingnuts often support quack psychotherapies like repressed or recovered memory "therapy" (to find "proof" of child sexual abuse in gay people) and reparative therapy (to "cure the gay").

Various wingnuts have found homosexual recruitment lurking in a number of other areas as well. Pat Robertson, for example, "discovered" that feminism is actually a front for turning women into lesbians (and socialism, Paganism, and sundry other bogeymen).

This panic led in 1978 to the Briggs Initiative, a proposition to ban not only gays, but also anyone who supported gay rights, from working in California public schools. However, even Ronald Reagan went against this measure[2] and it was defeated at the polls. Britain's infamous Section 28 law was also passed into law partly out of fear of gay "recruitment".[3]

In 2013, the Russian government unanimously passed a law banning promotion of "homosexual behaviour among minors"[4]. The law was met with protests in Russia and abroad.

[edit] Toasters

It is a well-known fact that homosexuals are on a recruitment drive and when they recruit a particular amount of people to the joys of homosexuality, they get a toaster.[5]
