Pastor In Gay Scandal: I'm Back From 'Wilderness'

DENVER (AP) ― Former evangelical pastor Ted Haggard says his sexual identity is complex and can't be put into "stereotypical boxes" but that his relationship with his wife is stronger than ever.

Haggard made the comments during an interview with The Associated Press Friday before an appearance with the TV critics in Los Angeles to promote "The Trials of Ted Haggard," an HBO documentary on Haggard's exile after his confession to "sexual immorality" and fall as a top evangelical leader.

Haggard resigned as president of the 30 million-member National Association of Evangelicals and was fired from the 14,000-member New Life Church in Colorado Springs, Colo., in November 2006 amid allegations that he paid a male prostitute for sex and used methamphetamine.

Haggard has not rule out a return to public life or the pulpit.

Haggard says he repents and is sorry, adding that he's moving in a positive direction.
