This would reallllly suck if it turned out to be a hoax. But man, if those voicemails ever see the light of day, this will be like Baker and Swaggart all over again.

I am beggining to think that in order to be a derangend succesful evangelical, a pre-requisite has to be closet homosexuality.

Seriously! Religious persecution of gays is the hot new beard for the 21st century.
Getting married and having kids is SO last millenium.

I always thought that was one reason that men became priests in the Catholic church. If you were gay, you couldn't shack up according to the church, and you would be expected to marry. What was the best way out? Become a priest, then you don't have to marry without others questioning you.
I think a lot of people get deeply into religion because of skeletons in their closets trying to either get over them or hide them better.

According to a lot of literature, and the stories I've heard personally, most of the time it's not a simple way to get out of marriage (and hide in the church), but a way to truly eradicate your sexuality. There's great hope that the required abstinence and concentration on God will, basically, force the inappropriate urges to go away (inappropriate being their assumption, not mine).
It's like a voluntary "debriefing" attempt.

Pastor admits buying meth (http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/11/03/haggard.allegations/index.html)
A top evangelical leader who is accused of paying a male prostitute for sex admitted today he contacted his accuser "for a massage" and purchased methamphetamine from him. But the Rev. Ted Haggard said he never had sex with Mike Jones and threw away the drugs.

I guess back in the day when masses were in Latin that not being married would have the community all talking. So be a priest and everyone shuts up.
