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.

As it is, she is dead to her family, having disgraced and dishonored everything they stood for with her selfish, hedonistic, rebellion.
It's not like she volunteered to defend her country and laid down her life for her family, friends, neighbors, and fellow citizens like so many other heros (and heroines) near her age. She doesn't have that character. She should have stayed out of the country and moved to Iran where her coming out would demonstrate courage.

Gay or straight, I could never turn my back on or stop loving my own child. Never. Ever. Now you understand the family of Michael Jackson (except for his one normal sibling that is).
To: From many - one.
Keyes is clearly a hypocrite since he commented on Cheney's daughter without acknowledging his own daughter was the same. You don't know that. She claims he's known since finding a gay-friendly publication in her room in high school, but I can easily see that as an unjustified inference on her part. Particularly since she also states in the WP article everything was peaceful as long as she kept her opinions to herself. I can easily see her shutting down on the politics part before she ever got to the "I'm a queer" part.
Also by her own admission when he actually confronted her, he used the exact same phrase he claimed he would use when speaking about Mary Chenney.
I see a much better case for paternal denial than for hypocrisy.

You apparently have forgotten why you were in the service: to protect American citizens, even those with whom you disagree.

I, and millions like me, no longer believe that stupid liberal lie "I may disagree with what you say but will defend your right to say it to the death."
I want homosexual addicts to leave this country and never return. They are a cancer within.

The simple fact is most people live quiet boring lives that don't include bustiers, handcuffs, and chaps. The corollary being, threads that mention sex tend to be lengthy.

I can see why you refer to Iran at lot inappropriately. That sounds like something an anti democratic and anti free speech and anti robust dialogue in the public square Mullah would say.

Do you even understand what that verse means ?

Ah, it seems like only yesterday. ;-)

I'm a "traitor" because I respect the First Amendment eh? Ya, I know, you are just posting this over-the-top stuff to gain attention. I must say that it is succeeding.
