Alan Keyes' Daughter Coming Out

(CBS) The 19-year-old daughter of Alan Keyes has a Valentine for the anti-gay rights conservative pundit and frequent Republican candidate.
Maya Marcel-Keyes will be making her first public appearance as a gay activist at a Valentine Day's rally in front of the Maryland State House, says Dan Furmansky, the leader of Equality Maryland, a gay rights group.
Last summer her father, a conservative pundit and frequent Republican candidate, caused a stir during the Republican convention by labeling Vice President Dick Cheney's lesbian daughter a sinner and calling homosexuality "selfish hedonism."
"It was kind of strange that he said it like a hypothetical," she told the Washington Post. "It was really kind of unpleasant."
Marcel-Keyes told the Post her parents have thrown her out of the house, stopped speaking to her and refuse to pay for college because she is gay. She said she loves her parents.
Keyes' Web site says he is against "the homosexual rights agenda, including same-sex marriage."
Marcel-Keyes grew up in Darnestown, Md., attended a conservative Catholic school for girls in McLean, Va., spent a year in the south of India advocating tribal rights, and plans to attend Brown University this fall, according to an Equality Maryland press release.
Furmansky told CBSNews.com that Marcel-Keyes would not be speaking to the media ahead of Monday's rally, and probably not afterward, either.
Bloggers have identified her Web site as
http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=Xmisled0youthX. The author of the blog says it is public and she has nothing to hide.

Why is this such a big news story? I've seen two threads on this already today. Keyes has a huge following here. Folks on other conservative sites find him an embarrassment and try to ignore him.
To: JCEccles
Given that Keyes knew his daughter considered herself a lesbian when he made the statement about the Cheney's daughter, the undeniable implication of his statement was that he considered his own daughter's decision to be hedonistic as well.Utter rubbish. Tripe. Specious lying and revisionism above and beyond anything I've ever seen on this site.
Do you really believe he would believe otherwise about his daughter's decision?
I believe he knew at the same moment he used Mary Cheney.
Alan Keyes is not a dishonest man.
Yes, he is. In the worst kind of way, abusing another man's daughter for his own purposes, why hiding his own daughter.
I found it easy to draw the inference.
I don't find that hard to believe at all.

"Homosexuality is a sin. The Bible says so. The Bible is the Word of God."
And you call people "sheep" who don't believe that homosexuality is a sin? Because an old book whose authors aren't around for comment say so? The bible may be the word of God, but that isn't provable. I'm sure if Jesus were to reply to your post he'd say, "I'll tell you what's sin and what's not, on a case by case basis."

Then why didn't he? He had a live microphone in his hand. He could have informed the world while he was busy talking about Mary Cheney. I suppose if you were the reporter interviewing Keyes on the topic of queer marriage you would have asked more intelligent and probing questions for your headline, like "Does this mean Liberace was a selfish hedonist?" or perhaps "Does this mean Rock Hudson was a selfish hedonist?"
Those who are intellectually honest know who brought up Mary Cheney and why, and who was otulining a position on queer marriage. Your head is jammed up the twin rear ends of "party uber alles" and the Bush/Cheney cult, and I quite expect your rendevous with intellectual honesty are as rare and brief as a typical liberal's are.
To: sinkspur
If the impetus for the change was their daughter's homoseuxuality, they're wrong.
I would personally be disappointed in family members (and friends) if their moral opinion changed about a particular behavior (as in, now it's okay), because I was engaged in that immorality.
You can believe someone is wrong and tell them so and STILL love them very much.

What a confusing world we live in! When it comes to sexuality, the world has always been complicated. It's just that there used to be lots of taboos when it came to talking about certain things.

What does what the reporter asked have to do with Keyes' reply????????
Are you admitting for all to see that he's too stupid to NOT KNOW when he's being set up?
Or is it that the reporter was smarter than Keyes -- he had to know the answer he would get from Keyes; it's not OUR fault Keyes jumped at the chance to pontificate!

BOILERPLATE CLAPTRAP uttered to ANYBODY who can see through Alan Keyes' cultlike hold on you people.

He was asked a question. He didn't dodge it. He gave his answer. You called him a hypocrite. Do you contend he lied in giving his answer?
To: joesbucks
An aware child can also pick up on hypocrisy and will shun any direction coming from that authority. Too bad a very private matter has to be used publicly to score points.

You're not aware of a lot, Modernman, and your biases color and control what you little are aware of. How nice. Ad hominems.
A civil person engaged in polite discourse, when confronted with my statement that I'm not aware of any changes in Dick Cheney's position on homosexuality, would have responsed with evidence to the contrary, if he/she had any.
I'll take your insults as an admission that you have no evidence to back up your claim that Dick Cheney changed his views on homosexuality.

Do you have a gay son or lesbian daughter?
To: Modernman
I said you were only aware of bits and pieces. Am I wrong?
