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.

"Can't you give him points for being consistent?" LOL! He kept her working on his "campaign" for months, while he KNEW of her orientation, and only now, after going down in flames and AFTER she can no longer do him any good, gives her the boot. Yeah, real consistency, there!
Keyes has never been anything other than a blowhard loser at politics. Now, he's a confirmed hypocrite as well. One MORE nail in his coffin as a politician, as this will doubtless be tossed in his face the next time he runs for anything.
He just made all conservatives look like fools and jerks. People like him do more to damage this movement than they ever did good, and people still lionize the man. It's ridiculous.

You're a kind and Christian lady, Guenevere. No doubt Keyes is consistent in his belief. However, he was very INconsistent in his publically naming Mary Cheney but omitting to reveal that he too had a lesbian daughter.
It is one thing to publically state one's beliefs. It's quite another to single out other people's child by name and label her on worldwide TV.

Keyes has moral conscience.....but many here are cutting him no slack because he believes what he says... They believe "Thou shall not speak ill of a fellow Republican" is in the Bible. If it had been one of Kerry's daughters they would have lauded Keyes. They are the hypocrites.
To: Long Cut
Y'know, if he'd refused to let her work on his campaign, not kept her in his Chicago apartment during the campaign, and had told her earlier that he wouldn't fund college so she'd have had a chance to apply for a scholarship, I'd respect his position.

Yet another perpetual adolescent throwing a public tantrum. The democrats will pay her big bucks to try to destroy her own father and she'll obviously do it. What a disgusting excuse for a human being.

Old Greek Orthodox saying from fathers to sons regarding extra marital sex. "Son there are two things you must always be careful where you put, one is you signature, the other is your " I have heard versions where signature is replace with "your word", but that comes from a time when a promise to marry a woman was binding under penalty of vendetta. (in the USA we would call it a blood feud). It all goes back to teaching children right from wrong BEFORE AGE 10. After that, the foundation will be attacked.

The Democrats needn't pay big bucks to destroy her father, he gladly does it for free on a regular basis.

"Sounds like the proper response. Choices have consequences."So she's throwing a tantrum because she's being forced to act like an adult and take responsibility for her actions rather than leeching off mom and dad.

"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."Geeeeee, a newbie who claims to vote Republican but would never vote for conservative candidate's name here
Whadda surprize.

It always amazes me how these "in your face types" expect everyone else to finance their lifestyle, from parents, foundations or taxpayers.

Probably a big part of it. Also, her father's statement probably hurt her a great deal.
