Looks like there's a little more room in the closet now that Pastor Ted Haggard has finally fessed up after days of denying allegations that he enjoyed regular sessions with a male prostitute. It's easy to attack his hypocrisy for railing against all things gay publicly while enjoying its pleasures privately. Sully, as usual, highlights the real sin:
There is no commandment not to be gay. There is a commandment not to bear false witness. Haggard bore false witness - to himself, to his wife, to his traumatized kids, to his fellow gay men and women. repeatedly, pathologically, self-destructively. The right response for Christians is compassion and forgiveness. But also hope: hope that this will help spread the truth about what being gay actually is.
