Ah, just when former pastor, meth pur->-bleeped-<- and male escort massage enthusiast Ted Haggard was readying for his debut in the documentary about his rise and steep fall on HBO, a new gay sex scandal explodes in his face.

    Fresh revelations have emerged that disgraced evangelical leader Ted Haggard had a previously undisclosed sex-for-cash relationship with a young male New Life Church volunteer.

    An Associated Press report claims that Haggard was involved in an "inappropriate, consensual sexual relationship" that "went on for a long period of time ... it wasn't a one-time act," according to Brady Boyd, the pastor who succeeded the embattled former leader of the 10,000 member New Life Church in Colorado Springs.

Fundies wanted to force gays to stay closeted for the good of society. How ironic. This illustrates the harm caused by their insistence on closeting-- which never would have happened if you could just be out with no hassles.
