Maya Keyes
• Homophobia
I'd noted my fascination with that master of the twisted syllogism, Dr. Alan Keyes, PhD, as always running for some office to which he won't be elected. I'd find his semi-hemi-demi rationalism amusing even if he weren't a violent homophobe and all purpose Republican wacko who is so right wing crazy that you are tempted to think he's the invention of some fevered liberal Democrat imagination.
More soberly I can feel for Maya Keyes, having such a man as a father. But my less empathetic side can't help but gloat that the old fool has a gay daughter. Pity it didn't teach him a particle of humane sympathy.
Check this out. In what is apparently Alan Keyes' daughter's blog, there's an account of someone coming up to her at a campaign event, noticing her rainbow bracelet.
Keyes daughter in the blogosphere?
Assuming that this story is legitimate, then Maya Keyes posted onto a publicly accessible part of the net a photo of herself kissing another girl. Assuming that this story is legimiate, Maya Keyes made multiple blog posts referencing her own homosexuality.
In defense of the Maya Keyes post
And, no, this isn't an "outing." She's out. If people post their personal information on public websites, then that information is "public."
THEY don't care about that, THEY only care that I am an evil dyke.
And the parents know about it...
"If my daughter were a lesbian, I'd look at her and say, `That is a relationship that is based on selfish hedonism.' I would also tell my daughter that it's a sin, and she needs to pray to the Lord God to help her to deal with that sin."
