yall sure are fag hags for Haggard…
Blaire: Oprah actually took herself out of the running for Emmys a while back.
I listened to him until I couldn’t listen any more. He is either hopelessly naive or ridiculously stupid or both. Either way, I have little sympathy for anybody who clings to a religion that is so dysfunctional and harmful.
Awesome, thank you!
And I’d just like to say, from the bi perspective, that the odds are really not good on him being bi. (And that’s not because I don’t like him.) He’s really behaving like a classic evangelical closet case.
thank you, that was fantastic.
He’s quite creepy. I see a lot of Jessica Simpson in him; maybe he’s her real father? I thought Opera did a great job asking questions without fearing that she’d hurt his feelings. It’s too late for anyone to consider Haggard’s feelings – he’s hurt so many people as it is. Well, him and all religions.
I missed it! Does anyone know where I can find the whole episode online?
I missed it too. I’m counting on Andy Cooper to tell me the best bits.
I missed it. Just had to add, though, that some of the best sex I ever had was with my closeted college boyfriend. Seriously.
I watched and as a gay man I thought Ted and his wife were transparent and honest. Too often people say if you are attracted to people of the same sex then you are gay. And sexuality is too fluid for that definition. Ted in his pent up reaction got involved with addictive behavior (meth, hook-ups. massage with release). This spiraled him out to do more stupid things like addictions usually do. He has a family and wife that love him and he chose them after dealing with the issues at hand.
I might not take the ex-gay route he chose but for him and his family I do believe it is the best for being deeply loved is what we all want deep inside.As well he has apologized to all the people he he was sexual with as well as the church. Which to be honest is much more transparent than many of us have ever been in our lives. But then addictions have a way of making us confront reality.
Yes Jeff, he has apologized. But what bothers me is if his family loves him they want him to be happy, right?. And he will never be happy until he learns to love himself, even more than that silly religion. He can be gay and out and happy and still love his family and be in their lives.
