I think the saddest part of this whole situation is that Rev. Haggard is only going to perpetuate the hate and intolerance of homosexuality amongst the evangelicals he used to represent. One important quote from him:
"I am a deceiver and a liar. There’s a part of my life that is so repulsive and dark that I have been warring against it for all of my adult life."
You see, he knows full well that he has repressed his homosexuality, but he simply had to act on it, probably because a lifetime of repression tears you up inside. He knows he's gay, and he acted on it because he realized it was what he needed to do. But now he calls it his "dark" and "repulsive" side of life. I'm sad for the likely tens of thousands of similarly repressed gay evangelicals who will look at this episode as another example of how they need to continue to repress themselves and remain internally miserable.
Thankfully, there are public figures who are admitting their homosexuality and who are proud of it, and who are living their lives happily.
