Interesting observation. Maya Keyes was an adult when she was ‘kicked out’ from her parent’s home, into an apartment funded by Keyes' political organizations in Chicago. Also, she marched in the protest against GWB inauguration in 2005, so I imagine that there was not only lesbian issue type of confrontation inside the family but ideological, too. In her own words: “I actually voted for Nader in this past election,” …“I’m really an anarchist, but I felt this was an election that needed to be voted in.” When an adult child goes so much against the parents/family values/ideology, first they should be able to stand on their own feet financially. Parents are not obligated to keep adult children without a job in their house, or to finance their college. Mostly, when we are talking about a child who is in a total confrontation with the parents. This is just an observation.
So, do you think that explains Keyes’ public attacks on Dick Cheney’s daughter as well?
