Looks like there was much more to Haggard's gay experience than originally revealed...like in, there was another guy.

Like many Republicans, Haggard preaches one thing and does another..for some reason, this seems to apply particularly in the area of sex.

And I thought all the GOP fundies believed you weren't supposed to lie down with another man, or whatever that scripture BS claims. Now I'm really confused.

Disgraced evangelical leader Ted Haggard's former church disclosed Friday that the gay sex scandal that caused his downfall extends to a young male church volunteer who reported having a sexual relationship with Haggard — a revelation that comes as Haggard tries to repair his public image.

Brady Boyd, who succeeded Haggard as senior pastor of the 10,000-member New Life Church in Colorado Springs, told The Associated Press that the man came forward to church officials in late 2006 shortly after a Denver male prostitute claimed to have had a three-year cash-for-sex relationship with Haggard.

Boyd said an "overwhelming pool of evidence" pointed to an "inappropriate, consensual sexual relationship" that "went on for a long period of time ... it wasn't a one-time act." Boyd said the man was in his early 20s at the time. He said he was certain the man was of legal age when it began.

B-b-but Haggard's cured of his desire for gay sex, isn't he?

Praise Jesus!

I love that this was timed to stink up that HBO documentary on Ted. Hope they can factor it in before it airs....

Why can't he just be gay and happy? If he hadn't lied to himself, and everyone else his whole life he probably wouldn't be in this situation right now.

He was also in the documentary "Jesus Camp", which was as superb as any documentary I've seen in years (Jesus Camp almost seemed like a film, though, except that these people ae not acting)

No - I don't think so... Sarah Palin hasn't gotten around to 'Pray the Gay Away' for him yet...
