First of all, I hate it that Haggard wants to lay blame for his orientation by insinuating it is somehow sinful and "he got off track" and/or there might be a deep rooted cause such as molestation.
He goes on to say he had a "wandering in the wilderness" time and now he is glad he is on the other side. Then he goes on to admit that he still "struggles" with same sex attraction as if it is an addiction.
As a bisexual woman, I've seen acceptance and discrimination in my lifetime. I must admit I expect it from heterosexuals, but it is particularly hurtful when it comes from within the gay community; a community that should know better, and I think most do. Who is to say that Haggard is a hom...

As a bisexual woman, I've seen acceptance and discrimination in my lifetime. I must admit I expect it from heterosexuals, but it is particularly hurtful when it comes from within the gay community; a community that should know better, and I think most do. Who is to say that Haggard is a homosexual man or a bisexual man? I think the bigger issue is that our society expects certain things and no one knows that better than me. As a woman, I was expected to be married and to have children, but from the time I was very young I knew I had same sex attractions and I didn't know there was anything wrong with it until society told me it was "the bad way" and their way was the "good way." I also knew I had the potential to form romantic/emotional/physical relationships with either sex. What I didn't know was how denying my same sex attractions could be so painful. Life taught me that lesson.
I have many gay friends and I want to say I feel it's a hard life, because society makes it that way. Gays often are forced to hide a part of themselves that is so integral that it feels dishonest. Gays cannot marry, they cannot serve openly in the military, and they cannot express in our society how it feels to love their partner or even express simple acts of affection in public without fear of either disapproval at best or getting beat up at worst.
Of course, Haggard is scoring cheap points with evangelicals by owning up to his "sin" and I can see that for what it's worth. Good luck to him on his particular journey.

There's no such thing as a "truely" bisexual. There are people who have chosen to live thier lives that way. So be it, but let them stay with one another. It is the self proclaimed besexual who does the disservice to the Gay Community. Indeed tolerance does have it's limits. Stay on your narrow diffinition of existence and do not cross over onto ours. Do not seduce juveniles and then run home to your wives and husbands and play heterosexual and allow the blame for your actions to fall on the Gay community. The Gay community is MONOGAMOUS, you are NOT. Why in the world would you think that we would knowingly want to get involved with you? Worst of all you are all hypocrites. Your lives are di...

Let me address that JorJor since I am a married bisexual woman. Unfortunately biphobia exists within some in the gay community and they should know better. Some lesbians carry a deep distrust of bisexual women who are seen as "experimenting", but I feel this narrow minded definition does a disservice to the women in the relationship. For example, a heterosexual male married man who has a relationship with another woman is never seen as "experimenting." And of course it is ridiculous to think that gays are any more or less monogamous than straights or bisexuals. People are people. There is no difference in a lesbian leaving her partner for another woman (and I've seen plenty of that) ...

I think society supports non-monogamy in single people, but exploring bisexuality within marriage has very little support even though it is the business of the two married individuals and no one else's.
As To Mr. Haggard, he is a hypocrite for using and abusing his power as a minister to exploit other's for his personal enjoyment and for standing up and exclaiming that homosexuality is wrong. That only encourages homophobia and bias against the gay community.
