What is this? Is this guy a "Mega Bi-Sexual?"
Being a Hetero...I just don't get a guy or gal married with five children getting it off with a "same sex" once a week and paying for the thrill.
Can someone help me understand this? :shrug:
BACKGROUND:
Evangelical leader quits after gay sex allegation Ted Haggard, accused of affair with gay man, resigns from national post-snip-
Haggard, a married father of five, did not return calls seeking comment, though he told KUSA-TV late Wednesday: "Never had a gay relationship with anybody, and I'm steady with my wife, I'm faithful to my wife."
In a written statement, Haggard said: "I am voluntarily stepping aside from leadership so that the overseer process can be allowed to proceed with integrity. I hope to be able to discuss this matter in more detail at a later date. In the interim, I will seek both spiritual advice and guidance."
Mike Jones told The Associated Press that Haggard paid him to have sex nearly every month for three years. His allegations were first aired on KHOW-AM in Denver.
Jones said that he had advertised himself as an escort on the Internet and that a man who called himself Art contacted him. Jones said he later saw the man on television identified as Haggard.
He said that he last had sex with Haggard in August and that he did not warn him before making his allegations this week.
Jones said he has voicemail messages from Haggard, as well as an envelope he said Haggard used to mail him cash, though he declined to make any of it available to the AP.
"There's some stuff on there (the voicemails) that's pretty damning," he said.
Richard Cizik, vice president for government affairs for the evangelicals association, expressed shock.
"Is this something I can imagine of Ted Haggard? No," he said.
Carolyn Haggard, spokeswoman for the New Life Church, said a four-member church panel will investigate the allegations. She did not identify the board members. Carolyn Haggard is Ted Haggard's niece.
"This is really routine when any sort of situation like this arises, so we're prepared," she said. "The church is going to continue to serve and be welcoming to our community. That's a priority." © 2006 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.
