If you're told that you need to be different or gay to be special or you are told if you feel awkward, you must be gay. You are being recruited.
Another trick is grooming. Like a sex predator, if you are touched in a pleasurable way by someone of the same sex, and then told because that feels good, you must be gay (LGBTQ,etc).
I worked with the gay community in Washington DC. Gay individuals have bragged to me at how they recruited individuals and tricked them into the gay lifestyle.
Another danger is to surgically or chemically change your body. This has long-term damage to your mind and body.
