    What a vile piece of work.

    So he thinks his ‘behaviour’ was caused by being molested as a child.

    The man is talking out of his butt!

    Why do these people constantly blame everyone else for the way they are born so they can stay in the closet.

    He is passing on a harmful message that comes from his own human hating kind. They created the hate, the bigotry. Rather than learn and use it for good he Chooses to use it for Evil.

    How ironic that these religious nut jobs can’t see that They are the Evil.

  2. If he hadn’t said and done all things he has against the LGBT community, what he describes now would just be a normal and accepted description of a newly monogamous Bi person and probably not newsworthy.

    If he is being genuine then I would expect him to try and redress the balance of his past by standing up for the LGBT community against the haters as a way of saying sorry.

  3. I agree – A nasty vile piece of work sums this man up – so to speak.

  4. What a disgusting freak.

    Not because he’s bi. Because he”s a lying, bigotted, slimy hypocrite.

    You should see the pictures in GQ magazine. Haggard and his wife are having a snog in the bath. Also in the bath are his 4 teenage children looking like they are about to die of shame.

    Their therapy bills will be huge.

    “I did not [really] have sexual relations with that [wo]man…”

    Where have we heard lines like this before?

  6. So mutual masturbation isn’t sex?? Which is what I take him to be saying. That means millions of l, g, and bi people – and probably lots of straights – don’t have a sex life at all. Utterly standard heterosexist rubbish – it’s only sex if you stick it in a hole. And terribly convenient for a screw-up like him.

    Wow – Denial isn’t just a river in Egypt then.
    “OK so I took some crystal meth in a hotel room with a rent boy and let him jerk me off behind my wife’s back… but I’m not gay and I would be bi but for the fact I’m 54 and I’m sure there’s an age limit of 21 on bisexuals.
    And anyhow there’s no such thing as a bisexual Christian.
    And just for the record I didn’t inhale and hated every moment of sleeping with the nubile young wretched sinner next to me!

    Anyhow, I need to go now… I have to get some gays in the missionary posi… I mean take my mission to all those unfortunate gay sinners who’ve fallen from the path of righteusness.”

  12. “I’m sure there’s an age limit of 21 on bisexuals.”

    Indeed. If that were so, I’d have had to hand in my bisexual membership card over 20 years ago.

    “And anyhow there’s no such thing as a bisexual Christian.”

    Huh?

    Very true. But as it is, he sure as hell won’t be invited to ride the float at the next Bi Pride Parade.

    Now this is one hard faced mare if ever there was one. Words fail to describe this piece of work. A rat bstard of the first degree who would do anything, say anything to keep the cash flowing from the deluded jesus freeks who get down on their knees before him, “pastor”! Anyone with a functioning mind would laugh him out of the building.

  16. Verily I say unto thee all, Haggard is the work of the Devil !
    MY plan for you all is to allow some people to be lgbt cos I put it in your genes so please keep bashing the bible bashers- they give me a headache with all their bellyaching. That Leviticus is still ‘downstairs’ being roasted for his presumptive list of precriptive behaviours for people… (as is ‘St’ Paul)

    Party on peeps, (safely though)

    Once gay, always gay, his face screams it. I’d love to know the intimate details of his sex life with his wife. I bet you anything not much is going on in the bedroom unless she gets on top. It boggles the mind.

    I guarantee he will fall from grace and will find himself in yet another sexual compromising position with another male. You can only lie for so long, it catches up sooner or later.

    While Haggard seems to be telling the truth about having been inappropriately sexualized (“molested”) at an earlly age, and about his conflicted bisexuality, he is wrong about so many other things.
    Masturbation IS “sex.” And he’s still wanking-off when he gives out this kind of ridiculous interview. He’s trolling for members for his new church.

    What blatant Hypocrisy. In denial and all. But then there lots of married men, hiding behind women and living the double life and think it is okay. Then go and slag off us true gays. No time or tolerance for people like this. World would be a much better place without them

    And that hottub pic is supposed to restore his reputation how?
    Most of his kids look acutely embarrassed, and it looks like the kind of hottub you’d find in a gay sauna anyhow.
    As soon as his family clear off I bet he’s on the phone to whatever escort agency will still take him asking if someone wants to share a jacussi for the afternoon!

  32. That hot tub picture is wrong on so many levels. What the hell is GQ about, publishing it? I’d like to think it was to render him absurd, but given that it’s the US edition (it is, isn’t it?) you never can tell.

    homosexuality “is not God’s best plan for people”.

    At least he agrees that it IS God’s plan if not his best.

    It must actually be quite horrible to be so filled with self-loathing. Those so terribly afflicted deserve our sympathy and compassion. Our society is to blame for such afflictions, sadly. Perhaps with understanding we can make certain that this happens less and less over time and all people are allowed to live their lives in peace without persecution and fear. That would be a just society of inclusion.

    Johnny – I’d have a tad more sympathy for Haggard’s self-loathing if he hadn’t built his former career on homophobic preaching and lobbying the white house against gay rights in general.
    If closet cases choose to be masochistic that should be between them and their therapists, but there’s little excuse for inflicting their self loathing worldview on the rest of us.
    Even now he hasn’t learned his lesson.
