Promoting the lifestyle? Like having recruitment posters up?

A while back I got a mini insight into this recruitment question courtesy of one of my job responsibilities--interfacing with various unions and other employee groups, one of which is GLB. Let me assure you, you've not had a fun job until you've had occasion to handle an assortment of employee interest groups. Each group claims entitlement to special privileges due to special circumstances while complaining vigorously that other groups are getting favored treatment.

In the course of this, I've come to understand that the GLB group really is unique in one regard--their need for publicity is different from the others. If you're a new Asian-American employee and into Asian-American interests and camaraderie, you would naturally approach someone who looks Asian and ask if there was a suitable employee group. Easy connection. If you're gay, what do you do? Would it even occur to you that such a group existed let alone know how to contact it?

This scenario concerns adults in a business environment--not school kids. But to me it illustrates how the unique difficulty of making a connection could make a simple desire to advertise the opportunity could be misinterpreted as recruitment into a life style.
