Haggards head to 'Divorce'
Ted Haggard and his wife Gayle aren't done with the spotlight yet. "Oprah," "Nightline," an HBO documentary, and now this from the AP:
The two are in Los Angeles taping an appearance on the syndicated Twentieth Television show "Divorce Court," to be broadcast nationally April 1.
The show's presiding judge, Lynn Toler, is interviewing the couple about how their marriage survived after a male prostitute from Denver alleged a cash-for-sex relationship with Ted Haggard in November 2006, executive producer Mark Koberg said.

So once again, the Haggards are given a forum to talk about marriage and sexuality in ways that embrace only those truths (and/or "truths) which are convenient to their faith. And America, through Ted's personal claims, will again hear confusing messages about sexual orientation, how a man can so actively solicit the dude-sex without himself being at least bi, and how those who "struggle" with gay attractions can be spiritually "restored" if they simply "repent" of their "sinful" ways.
Oh cruel press machine: Why must your gay-centric lens focus in such sensationalistic ways.
Your thoughts
The date of broadcast is rather fitting.

That anonymous post was from me. My computer didn't automatically fill everything in like it was supposed to.
