Recruiting

So...it's happened a few times in the last few weeks. The latest was as I was coming up out of the subway and into my office building this morning.

Recruiters there to tempt me with their flyers and wanting to tell me all about being saved. I think this morning was Jews for Jesus. On the way to the subway it was the Evangelicals. The other day walking to the deli it was the Mormons.

How come all these different religions can openly try and recruit me, but it's the gays that are accused of blatantly recruiting? I don't pass out flyers or talk people up on the train to try and get them to join my ranks.

Since I came out, about 13 years ago several friends have come out after I did. I've helped many others open the closet doors. I have yet to receive my toaster oven or even microwave - hell, at the rate I am going, I could re-do my entire kitchen (small as it may be). I didn't even have to hand out flyers. But, I'm recruiting?
