The Reverend Ted Haggard is, in fact, completely heterosexual, another minister in a position to know has declared. The Associated Press is revealing this morning that the formerly gay minister is indeed cured:

 

Haggard Pronounced ‘Completely Heterosexual’

DENVER (AP) -- One of four ministers who oversaw three weeks of intensive counseling for the Rev. Ted Haggard said the disgraced minister emerged convinced that he is ''completely heterosexual.''

 

Haggard also said his sexual contact with men was limited to the former male prostitute who came forward with sexual allegations, the Rev. Tim Ralph of Larkspur told The Denver Post for a story in Tuesday's edition.

 

''He is completely heterosexual,'' Ralph said. ''That is something he discovered. It was the acting-out situations where things took place. It wasn't a constant thing.''

 

Ralph said the board spoke with people close to Haggard while investigating his claim that his only extramarital sexual contact happened with Mike Jones. The board found no evidence to the contrary.

 

''If we're going to be proved wrong, somebody else is going to come forward, and that usually happens really quickly,'' he said. ''We're into this thing over 90 days and it hasn't happened.''

 

Haggard resigned as president of the National Association of Evangelicals last year after allegations of sexual misconduct surfaced. He was also forced out from the 14,000 New Life Church that he founded years ago in his basement after Jones alleged Haggard paid him for sex and sometimes used methamphetamine when they were together. Haggard, who is married, has publicly admitted to ''sexual immorality.''

 

Haggard said in an e-mail Sunday, his first communication in three months to church members, that he and his wife, Gayle, plan to pursue master's degrees in psychology. The e-mail said the family hasn't decided where to move but that they were considering Missouri and Iowa.

 

Another oversight board member, the Rev. Mike Ware of Westminster, said the group recommended the move out of town and the Haggards agreed.

 

''This is a good place for Ted,'' Ware said. ''It's hard to heal in Colorado Springs right now. It's like an open wound. He needs to get somewhere he can get the wound healed.''

 

It was also the oversight board that strongly urged Haggard to go into secular work.

 

(The Rev. James Dobson must now be feeling a little foolish!)

Do you think these idiots will ever realize what complete and utter fools they sound like?

Have you ever noticed that people with "problems" get degrees in psychology? Then they figure they will help others? A few more years down the road, you will see him being interviewed by some news program, because is has a degree in psychology.

My bet is he'll be back in the news for sucking cock! This story is a complete crock of shit designed only to fool the eager sheep of his flock. Every straight person that I talked to about this story today recognizes this for the sham it is.

You may well be right. Although if he ends up in Missouri or Iowa, he could have slim pickings for escorts. Especially since this time he’s going to need a guy who’s really really really discreet.

 

 

As an aside, as I was doing my research for this post, I did come up with one guy who’s visiting St. Louis this month, a guy by the name of Colt 10x7, to whom I’d like to draw your attention:

He specializes in role play and domination. Hell, if Haggard doesn’t want him, I know someone who does! :9

The poor man must be in a lot of pain. Let's show some compassion. Haven't we all known the inside of a closet?

I hope you are being facetious.

I know the inside of a closet very well. I would have compassion for this man if he announced to the world and his congregation that he is homosexual and has been completely wrong about his anti-gay history. Instead, he announces that after a mere three weeks he is completely cured of the dreaded homosexuality disease and is completely heterosexual. This man does not deserve anything but scorn and opprobrium.

I understand your point, and I’m a strong believer in compassion. Where this guy gets in a gray zone with me is the fact that he was a builder of those closets and shoved a few guys in without a second thought. In the documentary “Jesus Camp” he preached, "we don't have to debate about what we should think about homosexual activity. It’s written in the Bible." I’m pretty sure that he made some gay boys’ lives miserable, when they didn’t have to be. He himself showed little compassion for other men who, like himself, sucked a little dick now and then.

 

I believe that the best way to get compassion is to give compassion. And I want to have compassion for this guy. If he came forward and said he realizes now that he was wrong to judge other men for doing what he himself was doing, and that he is sorry for the extra pain he added to their lives, it would show me he is now willing to show compassion for others. And I’d be glad to show compassion for him.

 

Right now I can do it only reluctantly, and only by telling myself that he's probably the victim of somebody else's incompassionate judgment.

And the thing is.. I know people who are in evevangelical churches, and they have worked with people in the gay community with aids, and have never done any finger pointing, or made anti gay remarks. So while, they are not gay themselves they do have gay friends. Its just so easy to find fault or differences with other people, rather than trying to find a common ground, where people may recieve some benefit.

There are different styles of preaching....one style reaches out... the other one is divisive.

Yah right. And for all of you who choose to believe this, I have some swamp land in Florida I'd like to sell you at a bargain price......
