I find the comments on this thread to be as shameful and embarrassing as Mr. Keyes' treatment of his daughter. Alan Keyes is under no obligation to pay for college or any living expenses once the child reaches the age of majority, However, if he is withholding support he would normally give on the basis of his daughter's sexuality then he is a small and petty man who deserves his political misfortunes.
I admire Mr. Keyes' rhetorical ability. However, I wonder if our party didn't use him much the same way the left is now using Maya Keyes. Hopefully, with the emergence of Ken Blackwell and Michael Steele as prominent black Republicans, Keyes and his bombastic style will go the way of Pat Buchanan, another pathetic footnote in history.
And for those of you who intend to flame me, I under no condition support gay marriage or civil unions or whatever you want to call it, nor do I support any element of the homosexual agenda and I don't have any gay friends. Further, I doubt anyone can review my posts on this board and question my conservatism.
I find your defending the indefensible embarrassing and shameful.

Don't kid yourself. You are a shining example of the success of the homosexual campaign to desensitize the public to their natural repugnance for homosexuality.
According to the tenets of Keyes' religious tradition, his daughter is now actively promoting behaviour that is abominable by definition.
Call him petty if you like, but his principles have a much more firmly established pedigree than yours.
