Forced by a gay sex scandal to resign as president of the National Association of Evangelicals, the Rev. Ted Haggard now feels that after three weeks of intensive counseling, he is "completely heterosexual," says [the Rev. Tim Ralph], overseer of the megachurch Haggard once led.
-- San Francisco Chronicle, Feb 7, 2007
Dear readers,
As a San Francisco columnist, my struggle has been long and treacherous and fraught with guilt and shame and really, really good music. Many nights, lo these past years, as I wailed out my pain to an unforgiving neoconservative God, the stink of liberalness and Astroglide and womanly scent upon me like the devil's own Minwax, I truly believed my soul was forever lost in the pits of warm-hearted sex-positive progressive-minded hell.
But now, at long last, just like the good Rev. Ted Haggard, my heart can rejoice, for I am saved. I am ready to return to public life and the arms of our angry, all-American Lord once more. Finally, at long last, I can say it for certain: I am a Republican. And I am miserably gay. Rejoice!

I wonder if Morford's closet is as cluttered as his mind.
Boy! And I thought I was a messy writer....
Well, I see where he says that he is "miserably gay".
First thing I've ever seen him write that rings truthful.
Ted Haggard spoke about his OWN experience, and body snatcher-"gender identity" Mark declares Mr. Haggard's pronouncement applies is some type of "indictment" upon every single gay man on the planet.
That's emotional theft and IDENTITY THEFT, Mark. And masking it under such anti-Christian hubris just shows that "coming out" does not MAKE the man. Being a man, separate, own identity is what MAKES a man a man.
Ted Haggard didn't speak for "all gay" men. Nor even one Mark Morford.
Pretty grotty of Mark to get in a hissy over this. Shows how insecure in his own gayness is Mark Morford.
