Quote : | "DENVER - 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." ADVERTISEMENT
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." |

People spent years in programs like that and gotten nowhere. Reportedly it has worked for some people though, although I've never seen any good research to back it up. 2/7/2007 12:42:50 AM |

This guy must have the worst PR team of any public figure in history. Everything that comes out about him is pure comedy -- the best being the "I was tempted to use the meth I bought from the male prostitute, but I didn't!" line a few months ago.
Now we have another classic: "except for the male prostitute I had in my hotel room, I am entirely heterosexual!"
Goodness.
I especially like the use of the term "acting out." Yes, indeed. Acting ... out. Probably the out-est he'll get for a while, unfortunately2/7/2007 5:40:53 AM |

no, more likely is that 1) the people weren't really gay to begin with. they were engaging in gay activities for some other reason (rebellion, experimental, etc). 2) just like closeted gays, they just repressed their true feelings for the rest of their lives and did the best they could to "act straight"2/7/2007 7:57:58 AM |
