And it reinforces the theory that the gayer you are deep down the more you denounce it publicly...this dude preached about the sin of homosexuality and is a huge opponent of a domestic partner initiative that's on Colorado's ballot.

Hopefully this will take some of the focus off of John Kerry's stupid flap.

Oh yeah, the Kerry story is now done. These people don't even see how sick they are.

Ranting is more like it. You can watch clips of him from that "Jesus Camp" movie here (couldn't find it on YouTube directly):

He's so gay Seriously - when people are THAT homophobic I immediately peg them as clost gay to the utmost degree. I've been there - I know the self-loathing and projecting that comes from denying who you are

And yeah - the **** hitting the fan lately has brought me great amusement as of late...I just fear it still won't be enough to affect any real change come Tuesday - I'm actually nervous about the election.

On a horrible and sad note - I have to go cover the president in Greeley on Saturday

I'm loving the exposure of this hypocrite as much as everyone, but I also find that these kinds of stories are told in a slightly (and sometimes not slightly) homophobic light.

For example, the media keeps calling it a "gay sex scandal". Making the story the fact that he had gay sex and is somehow immoral because of that. How come they never say "straight sex scandal"? The issue isn't that he had gay sex, it is that he uses his pulpit as an evangelical leader to keep gays from achieving full civil rights.

That story will get lost, though, and everyone will focus on this juicy "gay sex" scandal. People who hate gays will think of it as one more example of drug-using sex crazed queers and people who like gays already like gays. In a couple of weeks everyone will have forgotten and nothing will be different.

Hugo Chavez's quote will be remembered long after Bush has left the White House.

Well, "gay sex scandal" is a quick headline/soundbyte which will grab attention. Whereas getting into distinctions like "hypocritical evangelical leader used pulpit to deny gay rights while secretly paying for gay sex" is more complex. The major news outlets have really dumbed themselves down.

I'm not sure anything is going to be different either. But it is going to make people think, at least momentarily, that people who preach too loudly have a hidden agenda.

One thing though, I heard this guy has 5 kids and a wife, those are the people who really suffer when things like this break.
