Haggard the Homo

This is actually too good to be true. Evangelist Rev. Ted Haggard, the US' loudest opponent to same-sex rights, who calls homosexuality a mortal sin on a regular basis, who advises George dubya on spiritual issues on a weekly basis... is a closet fag! And a methamphetamine user!! How did we not see this earlier? Funny how it's always those who most adamantly oppose homosexuality who end up practicing the opposite of what they preach. At least this time it wasn't a Catholic priest - that was getting a little redundant.


And now, also in this week's news, another right-wing middle aged man who can't seem to let the same-sex marriage issue go... is there something Stephen Harper isn't telling us?

Teddy? Is that you?

Oh, wait, I remember what happened to him.


Looks like there's no shortage of evangelical preachers to take Ted Haggard's place - apparently in response to an article in Radar magazine, evangelical leader Reverend Albert Mohler Jr. has managed to enrage just about everyone with his latest article Is Your Baby Gay? What If You Could Know? What If You Could Do Something About It? where he supports the idea that homosexuality may have biological origins (yaaay!) which could be detected in the womb and 'cured' with hormone therapy while the baby is still in utero (noooo!). But it gets even more complicated when you consider that this is they same guy who is squarely against any sort of intervention in the womb (meddling with God's will, if you will), such as genetic manipulation or abortion of a fetus that it is known will be born with a handicap. Ah but homosexuality isn't a handicap, you see, it. is. a. sin.

Now. I have just one more question. What to do with all those darn homo-sexuals who have already been born? Ahmadinejad says "hang 'em in a public square":
