Mike Jones responds to Ted Haggard's announcement of his heterosexuality by David Edwards and Michael Rogers In response to Haggard's statement, Jones giggled and responded "Well, that's the quickest therapy I've ever heard of. It's hard for me to imagine someone who is performing oral sex and saying that he is 'straight.' That just doesn't jive." If you were to ask me 'Do I think is Ted haggard gay?' I would have to say 'yes'," he added. In response to one of Haggard's counselor's claims that Haggard's activities were not a "constant thing," Jones explained that he could only speak to the time he spent with Haggard and that had an ongoing sexual relationship with the minister and that their time together "indicated a gay man to me." Jones also shared that he had heard from two other individuals that claimed they had encounters with Haggard. Those accusers, Jones asserted, have chosen to remain anonymous for fear of losing their jobs. When asked why he decided to expose Haggard, Jones said he was "tormented" over the decision, but that the "hypocrisy was so strong and evident that I just could not sit by any longer." 
The prostitute who first exposed Evangelical minister Ted Haggard as a closeted gay man and crystal meth user has responded to Haggard's claim that he has successfully completed three weeks of "ex-gay" counseling.

Of course Haggard is cured. All that is involved is making sure your voter registration is Republican and that you have an account on FreeRepublic. Once your Republican credentials are established, you can chew willies to your hearts content. It isn't queer when Republicans do it. How many times to I have to tell you guys that? The ban only applies to liberals. Ask Badeye if you don't believe me.
laughing..i have to say, haggard looks as gay as any gay man i've ever seen.
I don't give a damn who is gay or isn't as it is such an inconsequential aspect of being human that says nothing bad about a person. This pretentiousness Haggard reveled in however shows graphically how reflexively and unconciously fundies lie to take care of those bothersome contridictions between what they verbally belch and what they do. Haggard is still gay, and they are more concerned with damage control and image polishing then anything else. One would have to be a fool to believe otherwise.

Exactly...the guy's queer; fine with me as long as he leaves ME alone. Hypocrisy is the REAL issue here.
i agree with both of you.
