“Absolutely,” Ted Haggard tells radio host and marijuana advocate Mason Tvert about accepting LGBTs at his newly formed St. Jame’s Church. But just because he won’t let those queers get married under his cross, he’ll still let ’em sit in the pews. “If you review the list in the New Testament you come to the conclusion that everybody’s a sinner. Gay, straight, bi, Republican, Democrat, nice little lady at the grocery store, priest, preacher — everybody’s a sinner, everybody needs redemption, everybody needs God to bless them. Everybody needs that, and where we go wrong is when we in society start to say, this one group is a particular problem, rather than say all of us are in equal need of God’s love.”

@Ewe: You’re so right! I typed his name under Google News a couple weeks back, and the only ones reporting on him were LGB blogs, Colorado news sites or satirists or comedians. The Xristers have given up on him, it seems…
