Disgraced pastor Ted Haggard convinced he's now 'completely heterosexual'

Tue Feb 6, 10:53 AM

DENVER (AP) - One of four ministers who oversaw three weeks of intensive counselling for 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, 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 (since allegations surfaced) 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, 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.

Wow, I am so happy that he is "healed"

He's a joke, and a scary one at that

Wow...who would have thought that someone who was gay could be turned straight in only 3 weeks?!?

I saw this on Best Week Ever (VH1). What a crock.

GMAB!

LOL, he gives me strange vibes

Did anyone watch Boston Legal last week with the gay judge sueing this "treatment" centre for not "curing" his S.S.A.D. (same sex addiction disorder)? LOL I thought it was made up. I didn't actually think there were places you can go to "cure" or "heal" yourself. LOL

I saw that episode, the funny part is when the people that were suposedly cured went up on stand to testify for the treatment center, some of them were clearly still gay.

I doubt he's bisexual - gay and closeted. Probably had to use his imagination to produce children.
