I wasn't planning on writing about Ted Haggard.

amen! hate the sin, love the sinner!
razib: in this one instance, I would like to say, "strike that....reverse it".
help him out, as we should help out all actually-gay-but-married-straight people who are completely torn in their daily lives. Forget about it, be gay/lesbian, move on and love life...
