Why did Ted Haggard say this?

I was reading about him on Wiki and he said if he were 21 in this society, he would call himself bisexual. What does he mean by that? Only young adults who are bi call themselves bisexual? What do older bisexuals call themselves then?

Are younger people more willing to label themselves or are they corrupt to use such a word? I don`t understand what he meant. Can somebody clear this up for me, please?

    He's gay. He is just claiming to be bisexual because he is still in denial about being gay.

    As for older bisexuals, I know someone who is 45 and she calls herself 'bisexual'.

    Bisexuals exist however I think Ted is juSt gay. I'm a 15 yr old bisexual but hay maybe I'm just gay & in denial because I'm sure some stranger on the Internet knows more about me than I do *saracsm*. Same goes for the "corrupt" society.

    Can you copy and paste that? Can't fully judge his meaning otherwise.

    However, I think he meant that the younger generation is more corrupt then his generation. That the younger generation is becoming more accepting of a sinful lifestyle and beginning to see it as normal. I guess that's his way of sympathizing with the younger generation.

    I guess he's also saying that although he recognizes his attraction to both sexes that he will only focus on an attraction approved by God. That only the younger generations would be more willing to accept both sides of their sexuality as normative.

    @Torgo:

    Bisexuality exists.
