Mike Jones Responds: Calls Haggard's BS

The miraculous recovery story of Ted Haggard has lived to see another day. Mike Jones, the former male prostitute that had a relationship with Ted went on MSNBC and told the cable news network that Ted is definitely a gay man. See Ted, it is okay to be who you are, stop pretending to hide in that glass closet of yours.

From Mike's interview:

First of all we know that Haggard's claim that he was convinced of his heterosexuality is absolute nonsense. The thing we can't be certain of is whether Jones was his only partner. Well Mike also noted that he heard at least two other people admit to fooling around with the ex-minister though they haven't come forward yet.

From Rawstory:

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.

I wonder if Ted had reached out to those that had encounters with him and scared them out of coming forward. Hopefully those two or more may have the courage to bring Ted to his senses and help him see that lying and promoting the absurd notion that you can be prayed into heterosexuality is wrong.

Praise Jesus! Ted Haggard Has Been Saved!

It is being reported that ex-minister Ted Haggard has been miraculously cured of homosexuality. Apparently because his sexual acts were with a prostitute named Mike Jones, that means he was simply acting out and is completely heterosexual.

From the Associated Press:

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."

I would laugh if this story wasn't so completely pathetic. The article goes on to say that Haggard and his wife are planning on pursuing master's degrees in psychology and will stick to secular work after being thrown out from the mega-church he started years ago in Colorado Springs.

So the denial goes on and Haggard believes that relocating to Missouri or Iowa will help him heal. Perhaps he will find a teacher that can convince him that it is okay to be exactly who you are, no matter what certain parts of society may think of you.
