Ted Haggard is completely straight

You may or may not recall a few months ago a guy in America called Ted Haggard got himself into a spot of public bother when it came out he had paid a guy for sex and/or amphetamines over a 3 year period.

So what’s the problem with that? As long as it’s between consenting adults it should be allright eh? Well, possibly, but the 14,000 members of the New Life Church didn’t see it that way. You see, he was the head and founder of the church. Oops.

Now, after 3 months of soul-searching and counselling he has announced that he is completely heterosexual. It was even in the Denver Post, so it must be true.

A fellow reverend is quoted as saying:

“He is completely heterosexual. That is something he discovered. It was the acting- out situations where things took place. It wasn’t a constant thing.”

It sounds pretty credible to me. What’s more, I congratulate him on his progressive thinking. Some, less enlightened people, might have said if he spent his Saturday nights hopped up on crystal-meth, playing hide the sausage with rent boys in seedy motels on the outskirts of Denver, that might make him the teeniest bit homosexual.

Not our Ted. He’s as red-blooded as they come.

I’m about to head off for a fartlek session at lunch-time around Princess Park. If you see someone fartleking around in a dark-blue shirt, black shorts and a red face, that might be me.
