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.

I would guarantee that the result of this outburst is the lack of attention her parents gave her. Being a politician is a stressful life that often leaves the children abandoned or feeling abandoned. Children who feel neglected act out. That seems very plausible.

Oh my...it's worse than I thought. (But remember, referring to someone as a "selfish hedonist" is not intended to be unflattering.)

You should probably read the Tough Love book. This is what tough love is. Try Amazon.com

Well, I'm not sure...but I did learn that it's not a "derogatory" term. (It's in the Book of Keyester, verse 578.)
To: esoxmagnum
I'm not following your posts. If you want me to respond to something, please post what I said in addition to what you said. Have you learned how to do that yet?

Nowhere in that dialogue does Alan Keyes use the words "selfish hedonist". You are wrong, and a liar. And you will pay for smearing a good man. < /keyester >
To: esoxmagnum
I guess in your world... money = love? No. But expelling a child from your house and your life doesn't equate to love in my world either. Maybe in your world it does.

I will say once again:
Right here:
Mike Signorile: "So Mary Cheney is a selfish hedonist, is that it?"
Keyes had the chance to do the right thing and not take it personal.
He had a choice; and he made it.

Great quote (#629) and tagline.
To: Keyes2000mt
I'll pray for Alan and his family. This is heartbreaking for him I am sure. I also have a teenage daughter in college who has fallen from the Lord and I know the stresses created. Sometimes the most loving thing that can be done is to stay consistent with your faith and let your daughter know that she cannot control you or cause you to waiver.
In a way his daughter may be testing the strength of Alan's faith to see if it really is as strong as he says.
If he does not follow through in his beliefs then he will never get his daughter to realize what it means to be a true believer.

I think stem cell research is evil. I think anyone who supports it is evil. I think abortion is evil. I think anyone who supports it is evil.
Attach any name you like to it, I'll still think they are evil.
To: sinkspur
Dahmers parents surely loved him, but should they have condoned what he did?
Are you equating being gay with serial murder?
I bet most homosexuals kill more people in their lifetime through AIDS than Dahmer did and by much more horrific, slower, more painful means.
You make the call.
To: esoxmagnum
I think stem cell research is evil. I think anyone who supports it is evilOK. So, like Keyes, you're on record as saying that Bush is "evil."
You're entitled to that view; just don't deny that's what you said when confronted with it, as Keyes people do about him.

You'll fit right in with a certain crowd around here.

Well, as you know, I agree with you completely. I was anticipating the response you'd get from the Keyesters. (I was also contemplating the meaning of "is".)

Nope, I never named a name, you did. Do you work for the NYT?
Don't put words in my mouth, and don't make assumptions.
I think anyone who supports stemm cell research is evil, plain and simple. Does your thick skull not allow that to get through?
I think anyone who wants to julienne babies so that they may live longer is evil. Period. Any questions?
