Haggard Cured Too Quickly
It looks like even the ex-gays are doubting Haggard’s “return to heterosexuality.”
- Religiously motivated men who say they have made the journey from gay to straight say it is a long one.
- “I do know that a three-week journey is not something reflected in my own life … It took me three years to change my personal orientation,” said Randy Thomas, executive vice president of Exodus International, which seeks to turn gays onto the “straight path” through Biblical inspiration.
- Other religiously motivated activists who have taken the same route agreed it took years.
- “I would say that a transition would take five to eight years — I came out of a gay lifestyle and it was a long process,” said Frank Worthen of New Hope Ministries outside San Francisco, which also is devoted to turning gay men straight.
Maybe it was a lost cause and they felt it would be better to cut him loose?
Or maybe he made them believe him and got out of it sooner so he could get back to a ‘comfort zone’ that appealed to him?
no matter the reason, I still pray for him and his family that they know they are still loved by God no matter whom they sleep with.
Sad thing with all of this is that on sites like this we’re just preaching to the choir. We all know that this is bullshit but this man has a lot of influence and how many poor gay kids are going to be tortured by their parents into going to some kind of counseling thing…which is apparently what Haggard wants to go back to school to get his Psych degree…to help “cure” other people? This is nuts.
