All gays recruit. And this is what is going on! You are not born gay...you are recruited.

Actually, since 'teh gay' is not really a choice, you cannot be recruited into it. If you're bi, you can lean one way or another. Religion is something you're recruited into.
Really, did I recruit my early girlfriends and wife? Seduction is not recruitment. They may try to seduce you but if you're really hetero-sexual it won't work.
How many of you fundies are sitting precariously on a sexual preference fence?
And yet, the threat of being killed by ignorant bigots isn't enough to make them go AWOL. Rejection by their families doesn't make them rethink their enlistment. The refusal of certain states to recognize their marriages isn't enough to make them say, "Screw this, I'm deserting."
I would say that your analysis of this situation is simplistic and shallow, but frankly I don't think you care.
It's certainly true I was not born gay, and somehow after all this time I don't expect to find myself recruited.
However I have heard stories from gay friends, which mostly share the common theme of confusion and uncertainty during their teenage years, sometimes extending into fear and denial depending upon the type of family they grew up in and the school they went to. Thankfully kids now seem to have it a little easier -- but not by much.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
