Are you saying that Keyes feels betrayed by his daughter "coming out" publicly and he therefore says he's opposed to her lesbianism, rather than that he's opposed to her embarrassing him?

I'm saying Keyes reaction is perfectly justifiable on her politics alone.

She is explicitly aligning herself wiith groups seeking to undermine the legitimacy of a sitting President in time of war.

All the homosexuality issues, while sufficient in my own mind to justify the same reaction, may or may not have been operative before he cut her off, but clearly the watershed event was the "Counter-Inaugural."

[From many - one.]

If I read you correctly, embarrassing ones' father entitles him to throw you out of his home, cut off college funding (remember she could have applied for a scholarship had she known in advance) and break off communication.

I call it overkill.

Well, Keyes recently posted a very unflattering article about President Bush, written by that nut Charles Baldwin (the same article that was too much for FreeRepublic and pulled here, by the way), on his Renew America website...so it would seem Maya isn't the only one who can be critical of "a sitting President in time of war".
