I think viewing the attempt to support the right to act sexually in accord with your nature as "recruitment" is a very bad thing to do. In my experience most people are heterosexual (duh!), some are homosexual and an even smaller minority is bisexual or has some other kind of sexuality. For almost all people their sexuality is not going to change their entire lives, so attempting to "recruit" anyone into any kind of sexuality does not make sense.
I also quite regularly visit a forum that is about the discussion of homosexuality and/or religion. I have to note that quite a lot of the examples that were once considered as "cured" from homosexuality turned out not to be as cured as they thought/hoped. If someone decides not to live by his/her sexual orientation, (s)he gets my blessing, but much too often this is more related to conservativeness on the part of their respective church then that it really is a decision of the person him/herself.
I myself am a christian and gay, in case you want to know.
