A sudden about-face in the scandal facing New Life Church's pastor.

After Pastor Ted Haggard went public Wednesday night denying allegations of a homosexual affair, senior church officials told KKTV 11News Thursday evening, Pastor Ted Haggard has admitted to some of the claims made by a former male escort. The church's Acting Senior Pastor, Ross Parsley, tells KKTV 11 News that Pastor Haggard has admitted to some of the indiscretions claimed by Mike Jones, but not all of them.

Thursday morning, Jones went on a Denver radio talk show and said Pastor Haggard paid him for sex over the past 3 years. Jones also claims Haggard used drugs with him.

Right now, the situation is under investigation by an independent panel of leaders from four outside churches. The leaders are from Colorado Springs, Larkspur, Westminster and Louisiana. The panel's role is to decide if Haggard will be exonerated, released from his duties or restored to his pastorship.

Looks like Mr. Haggard is in big doo-doo!

Okay, let the investigation finish. Innocent until proven guilty, yada, yada...

But one has to wonder. Why Republicans are so anti gay, when there seems to be so many of them hiding in the closet. One has to wonder why they are so venomous in their anti-gay tirades. One has to wonder why so many of these people seem to be so self loathing?

If the accusations against Mr. Haggard prove true, it is just one more example of how sick these people really are.
