Ted Haggard on The Oprah Winfrey Show

Ted Haggard, the founder of the New Life Church in Colorado, gives his first interview on the Oprah Winfrey Show since his gay scandal.

In the interview Haggard makes the following statements…

“I continue to have sexual thoughts about men, but they’re not compulsive any more, and I do have temptations, but they’re not compulsive.”

He said one therapist described him as a “heterosexual with homosexual attachments,” and he admitted to struggling with homosexual urges all his life.

“I do believe I don’t fit into the normal boxes,” Haggard said. “I do think there are complexities associated with some people’s sexuality, but it just wasn’t as simple as I wanted it to be, because I was so deeply in love with my life.”

Here are the first two parts of the interview that discuss whether or not Haggard believes he is gay and if Christ loves gay people.
