Ted Haggard: Busting Out of the Spiritual Restoration Center

Posted by Emily Farris

Praise the sweet baby Jesus Lord! Ted Haggard has been cured of his gayness... or has wisened up to the fact that he can't be cured of it.

The AP reports that the former evangelical preacher who was forced out of his job after reports of his relationship with a gay prostitute has left the "spiritual restoration program," he attened after the scandal broke, but is not allowed to comment on why.


Under a severance deal that Ted Haggard reached with the church in 2006, he agreed to leave Colorado Springs and not talk about the scandal publicly. The deal expired at the end of 2007. New pastor Brady Boyd said Haggard was now free to live where he wanted and has returned to Colorado Springs.

"They have moved back and they live in the original house that they lived in for many years," Boyd said of Haggard and his wife, Gayle.
 


This makes us think of that movie with the terribly hot Clea DuVall and the not-so-hot Natasha Lyonne, "But I'm a Cheerleader," in which teenagers are sent away to a home to rid them of their homosexual tendencies.
