Justice, Thy Name Is Gay Sex
As reported by the Associated Press via the Houston Chronicle, another gay-hating evangelical "leader" is himself gay...or at least has sex with other men. I'll let the article speak for itself.
"The leader of the 30 million-member National Association of Evangelicals, a vocal opponent of the drive for same-sex marriage, resigned Thursday after being accused of paying for sex with a man in monthly trysts over the past three years.It should be fun to watch this one play out. I guess we'll soon see one more (albeit reluctant) supporter of gay marriage, especially with his existing marriage seemingly about to dissolve.The Rev. Ted Haggard also stepped aside as head of his 14,000-member New Life Church while a church panel investigates, saying he could 'not continue to minister under the cloud created by the accusations.'
The investigation came after a 49-year-old man told a Denver radio station that Haggard paid him to have sex.
Mike Jones, 49, of Denver told The Associated Press he decided to go public with his allegations because of the political fight. Jones, who said he is gay, said he was upset when he discovered Haggard and the New Life Church had publicly opposed same-sex marriage.
'It made me angry that here's someone preaching about gay marriage and going behind the scenes having gay sex,' said Jones, who added that he isn't working for any political group.
Jones, whose allegations were first aired on KHOW-AM radio in Denver, claimed Haggard paid him to have sex nearly every month over three years."
