More On Haggard's Latest Sex Scandal

See the exclusive interview with the latest "victim" of Haggard's advances:



Wow, the complex, ironic and hypocritical saga of Haggard is even deeper than I thought. A young man, Grant, struggles to accept his homosexuality and seeks out a church where he can heal and be himself -- even nurture a dream of becoming a pastor himself. He finds a closeted gay pastor who is just about the worst gay role model he can meet. Not only is Haggard trying to hide his homosexuality from his family and the huge church that he leads, but he speaks out publicly against gay marriage. And Haggard abuses his authority and gets involved with this young man.

Now I'm sure there is a lot more than this clip suggests, but this is shaping up to be one big tragedy. I wish both Haggard and Grant can find peace in accepting who they are without the spider web of unnecessary religious guilt that unfortunately catches so many LGBT people. Only the Truth can set them free.
