It all makes sense now…
I’m wondering why, if this is true, it took him two years to admit it.
I’m also wondering: would it really be that hard at this point in his life to come out and just say he’s gay?
If he did — and spoke out in defense of homosexuality and against the Christian treatment of gays — he could still be a hero to many people instead of being the fallen has-been that he has become.
My interview with Mike Jones, the male escort Haggard scandalized himself with, is here.
