It's Keyes who let his hatred of homosexuals in general lead him to betray the affections of his own blood.

Hatred of homosexuals? I see a man the recognises God's law and loves his daughter enough to show her that he cares about how she lives in accordance to that law. Sometimes you have to do tough love.

I will relate this to a personal story about myself. I went through a stage of rebellion myself and turned to drink and party and late nights. My mother (she raised us three kids by herself) warned me that I was not to do those things while living under her roof. One night I came home late around 2 am and the house/gate was locked. There was a note on the gate, that basically said, "you no longer live here". I now understood that my mother meant business, I begged her forgiveness (slept in the car) and she forgave me. I never did those things again under her roof. She didn't turn me out because she hated me, she loved me with all of her heart. But she raised me to love the Lord the best she could and that was her value system.

That's probably because you've been brought up to hate, marginalize and repress homosexuals just as much as Mr. Keyes has. If I could, I'd bet you 1,000 dollars I can't afford that your parents hated homosexuals, your church preached hellfire against them, and your schoolyard friends used to rag on them. You think it's normal now for a man like Keyes to treat his own daughter like she was a dirty dog in the streets. She deserves to be ostracized because she's an evil, unrepentant sinner in your eyes. I don't blame you a bit for your indoctrination, but I'm eternally grateful to my parents that they raised me up with a respect for the individual above any petty sexual differences we might have.


RE: "I went through a stage of rebellion myself..."


The rest of your story is irrelevant to this discussion because Keyes daughter's sexuality isn't an act of "rebellion". What's your point?

My dear pastor and his wife threw their son out of the house because of his drinking, fast lifestyle. It straightened him out and he is the best husband and dad and friend ever. Tough love is tough for everyone.
