Ted Haggard Opens Up To Colorado Springs Independent: "I'm Here To Be Faithful To Me"

The Colorado Springs Independent:

...And if I said the things that the therapists have said to me, some people out there would read it as me giving an excuse, which I don't want to do. I just want to be well. I want to be able to be faithful to my wife, faithful to my kids, and faithful to my faith. I want to be the man that I am, I want to be true to myself, and that's why I haven't let the others put me in a box. Oprah really wanted me to be gay or straight or something, and I just said, "I am not going to fit into your boxes." I'm not here to fit into your stereotypes, I'm here to be faithful to me.

There's something very, very strange in the water in Colorado Springs. I'm sure there's plenty of room if the city wants to move lock, stock, and Christianistas to Utah.

Oh no, not the "heterosexual with issues" again.

We have a saying here in Colorado.

"Focus on Your Own Damn Family!"

Ted your part of the reason that saying exists. Many of us in Colorado were glad to see you go, we were glad when you were gone, and well, we a bit pissed that you came back.

Please take your hypocritical rear somewhere else.
