Homosexuality is a sin. The Bible says so. The Bible is the Word of God. He makes these kinds of decisions.
That sons or daughters of prominent people -- including conservative people -- are homosexual does not in any way mean that homosexuality is less of a sin. God doesn't allow for exceptions.
And the fact that certain offspring choose a sinful sexual practice does not reflect on the parents. It's called "Free Will," a concept that is alien to the sheep mentality that pervades liberalism, but one that God allows.
Any questions? There will be a 10-point quiz next Wednesday.
It most certainly does. This whole incident kind of shows you the difference between real Christians, like the Cheneys, who love their daughter no matter what, and phonies, like the Keyes, who are too busy throwing stones in glass houses.
I live in Illinois, but couldn't bring myself to vote for Keyes in the Senate race, even though I always vote Republican and find Obama ultra-annoying. I'm kind of glad that I didn't now after seeing the way he treats his daughter.
I take it you're no fan of Keyes? Homosexuality is not something to be wished upon anyone's family. It's akin to getting leprosy.
Everyone I know, has at least one gay family member. That is how widespread the gay community is.
Not in my family. Only in some of the families I know, not all. As they are about 3-5% of the population, that seems about right.
I hope I would have the courage to do the same thing, although they should continue to speak to her.
She said she loves her parents.
She's either lying or suffering from a sentimental idea of love. Love is hard as diamonds. If she loved her parents, she'd be doing her best to escape this evil.
And I'm sure her parents love her too. They just won't tolerate that kind of behavior in their house nor will they subsidize her "gay activism" while she is in college. I'm sure her parents are heartbroken that their daughter would make such a terrible decision to not only engage in such immoral activity but to pattern her whole life upon it and become an "activist" to promote it.
Or alternatively, not exploited her father's fame for personal gain. If her father was not a national figure, she would not be getting this kind of attention.

Yeah, when was the last time we saw an article about some prominent leftist about all of their children being straight?
Because they think it exposes conservatives as "hypocrites," even though it does no such thing. Liberals aren't big on thinking.
You're kidding? You mean Ron Reagan isn't gay?
Keyes, Cheney, et al don't have homosexual daughters, they have prodigal daughters - who happen to have chosen to wallow in the pigsty of fornication/sexual sin. It will not always be so, as there are many who will pray for the eyes of these prodigals to be opened.
Believing parents will be killing the fatted calf and holding a party when these wayward children repent and return home. Prodigals - such were all of us, before we returned to our Heavenly Father who ran to meet us.
BETTER IS ONE DAY IN HIS HOUSE, THAN THOUSANDS ELSEWHERE!
Love? Doing nothing while their daughter puts herself on the road to hell is "love"? Sounds more like indifference to me.
Revelation 3:15-16I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm–neither hot nor cold–I am about to spit you out of my mouth.
Here's the rub in the secular world. While it is a sin and it happens to the best of us, the evangelical + wing of the conservative movement comes at the secular world every day with the problem is God has been taken out of the schools. If God were allowed back in the schools, then much of our sinly nature would be curbed. Secondly, the same folks claim that "Godly and a family unit of values" is a natural remedy for these types of "worldly problems". There was also a thread on this forum that discussed the probable link between homosexualality in children and some sort of traumatic abuse of physical, sexual or verbal varieties.
Clearly, as we can see with Keyes and many other promeninet conservative individuals the remedies cited above are not the elixir that cures all. And are you open that the cause of Maya's current problem may be that she was somehow a victim of abuse?
That's not to say that a little more faith wouldn't help, but it's not the cure all it's portrayed to be.

In my distant family, I know of two. Possibly 3. It worries me though.
