Go Forth And Sodomize No More

Ted Haggard: "I'm cured!"

Oh, this is going to be a disaster in waiting. Not just because he's in denial of himself, and not just because that "intense spiritual discipline" James Dobson was boasting about seemed to take all of three weeks. Nope; it's because Haggard is saying he's "completely heterosexual."

I mean, look at the rhetoric used by other "ex"-gay groups. They don't treat the eradication of homosexuality in a person as an absolute. They state that homosexuality is still in there somewhere, but that they fight against it in order to live a "normal" life. Ted? Apparently he's attained Hetvana, for he has rid himself of all those queer demons.

Ah, well. Whatever happens, it's apparently going to be his own private destruction:

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.


In other words, if things go horribly wrong in the future- which they likely will- he's not going to be dragging down a franchise that makes good money on maligning gay folk down with him. Because the big wigs of the religious right need to know how to cover their asses.
