Disgraced Evangelist Ted Haggard, former head of the president of the National Association of Evangelicals, is straight as a pin. Or so says a pastor who counseled him.
Haggard lost his position at New Life Church in Colorado Springs after he first denied and then admitted sexual impropriety with a male prostitute.
"He is completely heterosexual," said the Rev. Tim Ralph of Larkspur, Colo., in a report published on Feb. 7 by CNN. "That is something he discovered. It was the acting-out situations where things took place. It wasn't a constant thing."
This incident raises the proverbial questions:
Is homosexuality a choice? Can it be cured? Should it be cured?
The vast majority of experts say no. But some religious groups disagree.
Read both sides of the argument:

I doubt if Mr. Haggard has been cured, but it sure is good public relations to save his failing evanglical career. A sad case really. I will pray for him.
Peace and Blessings!
