Top Evangelical Leader Caught in Gay Sex & Drug Scandal
Reverend Ted Haggard, one of the nation's most powerful evangelical leaders and outspoken opponent of gay marriage yesterday admitted to buying meth from a male prostitute who is claiming that he and the pastor have been having drug fueled gay sex liaisons for the last 3 years.
Welcome to a massive shit storm for the religious right... this is about to get really good...
Thursday Haggard stepped down as the president of the 30 million member National Association of Evangelicals and today left his post as leader of Colorado's giant 14,000 member New Life Church amid the allegations. Haggard has such influence in Washington that he claims that he and George Bush have weekly telephone conversations.
Male prostitute Mike Jones, 49, claimed in a radio interview that he and the pastor have been sexually involved for years, and that he decided to go public to combat Haggard's hypocritical stance on same-sex marriage:
"It made me angry that here's someone preaching about gay marriage and going behind the scenes having gay sex," he said.
"I just want people to step back and take a look and say, 'Look, we're all sinners, we all have faults, but if two people want to get married, just let them, and let them have a happy life,'" said Jones
Haggard, at this point has only admitted to buying but not taking Meth and receiving a sex-free massage from Jones, while on a business trip.
Here's a clip from The God Delusion Author Richard Dawkins' film The Root of All Evil where he profiled Ted Haggard and his New Life Church. It all gets pretty exciting by the end, when Hawkins' film crew is kicked out of the compound for offending Haggard's delicate sensibilities.
