Because he had a rebellious daughter?

No, because all he did was prove himself to be whatever thought already -- that he's a hyprocrite.

And stop trying to say we wanted him to expose his daughter. Either you're too dense to understand it, or you don't want to, so I'll put it in language you can understand:

We don't think he should have named ANYBODY'S daughter, but he chose to name Mary Cheney at the same time he hid his own daughter's lesbianism.

He's a hyprocrite.

I can see that you have a real problem with logic and with the definition of hyposcrisy.

First, Alan Keyes is not the one who brought up Mary Cheney, nor did he name her, the reporter did because she was already a public homosexual, public by choice. If she had kept it private she would not have been named by the reporter.

Again, Mary Cheney was a public figure who had given herself over publicly by choice to a life of public homosexuality. When she outed herself and became a public figure as a homosexual, she no longer was a PRIVATE figure.

On the other hand, Maya Keyes had not chosen to go public with her choice of homosexuality. The Keyes family still hoped she would repent, just as they should hope.

Keyes was under no obligation whatsoever to OUT his daughter or keep silent on the matter if it involved someone who went public by choice.

In case you still cannot think logically, you can apply it this way. Now that Maya Keyes is out, Alan Keyes should apply the same definition to his daughter as he does to any other public homosexual, when applying it strictly to that area of life. If he does not do so, he is then a hypocrite, but your assessment of what transpired is neither correct or logical. Instead it is purely mindless emotion.

It bears repeating that your position would require him to first OUT his own daughter or allow her to dictate his spoken moral position by causing him to keep quiet about his view of the sin of homosexuality. Read his daughter's own words and you will see that he told her homosexuality was a horrible sin, the same standard he applies to all homosexuals. If they are public about their homosexuality, he has no obligation to pretend they are private about their homosexuality.
