Matthew 5
21 Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
If Keyes did this, he was wrong in disowning his own flesh and blood. This isn't the same as the commandment that we should not associate with sinners. The family relationship is not the same as a voluntary relationship between friends or associates. Keyes needs to explain to his daughter that he does not agree with her lifestyle, that he is praying for her, and that he loves her unconditionally as Christ first loved us. But of course that would be the Christian thing to do and we can't let a relationship with Jesus Christ and having to answer to Him one day on how we loved the unlovable get in the way of party politics. The Republican party is making that clearer almost every day

(Matt. 10:370 Christians do not bend God's Word to fit their family members' sinful lifestyles. They must witness to the truth in order to warn those they love that God is not mocked.

But to sin against the family is intrinsically sacred and this is far worse than sinning against a stranger. The family is the core Church unit, the egglesia domestica, as it was called in the early days of Christianity.
There is too much unknown detail but there is nothing wrong in the parents not financially supporting the daughter's behavior which compromises their beliefs.
