Homosexuality is a sin. The Bible says so. The Bible is the Word of God. He makes these kinds of decisions.
That sons or daughters of prominent people -- including conservative people -- are homosexual does not in any way mean that homosexuality is less of a sin. God doesn't allow for exceptions.
And the fact that certain offspring choose a sinful sexual practice does not reflect on the parents. It's called "Free Will," a concept that is alien to the sheep mentality that pervades liberalism, but one that God allows.
Any questions? There will be a 10-point quiz next Wednesday.
Keyes, Cheney, et al don't have homosexual daughters, they have prodigal daughters - who happen to have chosen to wallow in the pigsty of fornication/sexual sin. It will not always be so, as there are many who will pray for the eyes of these prodigals to be opened.
Believing parents will be killing the fatted calf and holding a party when these wayward children repent and return home. Prodigals - such were all of us, before we returned to our Heavenly Father who ran to meet us.
BETTER IS ONE DAY IN HIS HOUSE, THAN THOUSANDS ELSEWHERE!
Here's the rub in the secular world. While it is a sin and it happens to the best of us, the evangelical + wing of the conservative movement comes at the secular world every day with the problem is God has been taken out of the schools. If God were allowed back in the schools, then much of our sinly nature would be curbed. Secondly, the same folks claim that "Godly and a family unit of values" is a natural remedy for these types of "worldly problems". There was also a thread on this forum that discussed the probable link between homosexualality in children and some sort of traumatic abuse of physical, sexual or verbal varieties.
Clearly, as we can see with Keyes and many other promeninet conservative individuals the remedies cited above are not the elixir that cures all. And are you open that the cause of Maya's current problem may be that she was somehow a victim of abuse?
That's not to say that a little more faith wouldn't help, but it's not the cure all it's portrayed to be.

"Homosexuality is a sin. The Bible says so. The Bible is the Word of God."
And you call people "sheep" who don't believe that homosexuality is a sin? Because an old book whose authors aren't around for comment say so? The bible may be the word of God, but that isn't provable. I'm sure if Jesus were to reply to your post he'd say, "I'll tell you what's sin and what's not, on a case by case basis."
Bulls-eye!
You don't believe that some people are born gay?
Your post is 1000% on the mark.
Leviticus 18:22: "You shall not lie with a male as those who lie with a female; it is an abomination."
Leviticus 20:13: "If a man lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination and they shall surely be put to death."
