So Now He's "Cured"?
DENVER - One of four ministers who oversaw three weeks of intensive counseling for the Rev. Ted Haggard said the disgraced minister emerged convinced that he is "completely heterosexual."
This story is wrong on so many levels it isn't even funny. Jamison's mentioned it in passing yesterday, but I have to say that it's just ridiculous to think that this guy did a few weeks of therapy and now he's "completely heterosexual". I hate to break it to you, but if you're gay you're gay! That's the way it is. There is no "cure" and counseling isn't going to scare it out of you!
These people are doing the community a great disservice, along with Haggard's family by even insinuating that they can make it all better. He was gay, he is gay and when he wakes up tomorrow he'll be gay then too. You can't run from what you are. It isn't fair to anyone involved.
This kind of situation is indicative of these types of groups and it's really quite sad that they can't just stop judging something they think to be wrong, and start loving unconditionally. Haggard needs love and support from people who have his best intrests at heart now more than ever as he comes to terms with who he is. He does not need people who simply want to pray the gay out of him.
