Oscar winner Paul Haggis says private detectives regularly sift through his trash almost a year after he publicly renounced his 34-year membership in the Church of Scientology.

“Crash” writer/director Haggis last year said he feared the church would take revenge on him for publicly speaking out against it, telling The New Yorker: “My bet is that, within two years, you’re going to read something about me in a scandal that looks like it has nothing to do with the church.” ....

And while his ominous prediction has not yet happened, he’s still wary. “They’re in it for the long haul,” Haggis, making the rounds to raise awareness of his work in Haiti, told us of the Scientologists yesterday. But he added that he’s moved on — “I am not on a crusade to discredit Scientology.”

He said he’s since had many former Scientologists thank him for speaking out. “I’ve had people who were in Sea Org [the church’s equivalent of a religious order] and major donors say, ‘Thank you,’ ” Haggis told us. “Or, ‘I was a member of the church till they found out I was gay.’ ” Haggis reportedly resigned from the church, in part, for its stance on gay rights. ....

1. If you're gay and not incredibly rich maybe....

but it seems you can be as gay as Liberace, as long as the $$$ keep flowing into the "church".
