Didn't you always know those preachy homophobic types were really just repressed all along?

In the US, there's another sex scandal involving someone from the "moral values" camp. His name is Reverend Ted Haggard and he just resigned as President of the organisation that represents evangelical Christians. He is a vocal proponent of "intelligent design" and a vocal opponent of gay rights. Now there are charges of hypocrisy that recall the Mark Foley scandal, as it is revealed the Rev was buying sex and crystal meth from a hot muscular "sensual massage" guy that puts ads in the back of weeklies.

In this clip from Jesus Camp, the documentary, The Rev lays out the angry christian law on gays, and adds some oddly prophetic and ironic comments at the end.

We should make gay bashers watch gay porn for hours on end, so they could get over their squeamishness and realise, it's a not a fuckin big deal, just a different combo of sticks and holes, and maybe they should be doing things like Jesus did, like showing love, feeding the hungry, offering comfort, healing the sick, promoting charitable works, and not preaching hate.
