I know Anita Bryant worked quite hard to push that gay people "recruit" kids (which is a complete an utter fallacy) but I'd like to know if anyone has a clue as to when the rumors that gay people recruit kids started?
Please, no bashing or crude answers about how Jesus saves homosexuals and all that ridiculous tripe. I'd rather not have to sift through that.

It really has nothing to do with the current concern about pedophilia. Rather than admit that one could have a family member or friend who was naturally gay, people thought to blame others when that person was caught acting on his sexual orientation.
Oscar Wilde went to prison for "seducing" the son of a British Lord. The son was probably no less gay than Wilde but his father had big bucks.
The greeks saw mentoring of young men by older men as anything more exotic than our, say, Boy Scouts.
I don't think gay "recruitment" holds a candle to cultism, Christian and otherwise.

I remember Anita pushing this (who by the way did more for the gay cause than anyone else--she was just so riduculous)..but I remember hearing about gay men recruiting youths before that...but as to when it actually started sorry I don't know.

I've reached my quota for conversions and I'm still waiting for that free toaster I was promised.
Can you help me get it?

Check out Greek history. They had whole gay battalions that recruited kids for military service as well as teaching them to be gay.

I have to belive that these poor deluded souls have existed since time began. People always fear what they don't understand.

I don't think there is a connection.
