...or so he realized during three weeks of "intensive counseling." D'oh! What was I thinking? Of course I'm straight!
Assuming that the pastor quoted in the story is accurately reflecting Ted Haggard's belief, I'd respect Haggard if he admitted that he had some degree of same-sex attraction -- which is why he ended up with a rent-boy and crystal meth -- but that he was trying to deal with it, and that he didn't believe his SSA defined him. But the "completely heterosexual" stuff -- hmm. Well, look, I have a feeling that we're going to be hearing from Bro. Ted again, and we're not going to like it.
Bro. Ted is "completely heterosexual"

Hey, I'm all for gay marriage. If some gay guy and a lesbian want to get married, who am I to get in their way?
no way he is "cured" because there is no such thing. i came across this video on youTube and he is definitely hiding something in his anger... http://youtube.com/watch?v=c-qYJ6_fGK4
Sack Mad and Freud, "Hey, I'm all for gay marriage. If some gay guy and a lesbian want to get married, who am I to get in their way?" Someone is, er, "not clear on the concept". Still.
concerned user, I didn't used to have such a poor opinion of Haggart, but that video you linked to is too much. If that is what passes for goo dtheology, good hermaneutics, good preaching in the "christian" church these days, I'd want out so fast. It is sad to see so many people believe him, and follow his words (not that they make any sense). And why do so few people see the effeminate man before them in Haggart? sorta like Foulwell, and Aingley, et al.
Oh, and Ratzi.
