I find your defending the indefensible embarrassing and shameful.
Your ignorance is what's embarrassing and shameful. Maya Keyes is obviously having a tough time right now. For her life to be examined and picked apart on this board by a bunch of holier than thou tight arses is probably the last thing she needs. And you people have way too much time on your hands.
"Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man. And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me".
Apparently for all the bible thumping that goes around on this board the quote about judging others seems to be left out. Perhaps, it isn't the Evangelical editions? The Cheneys don't seem to be entirely comfortable with their daughter's lesbianism. But they treat her with dignity and respect.
I have not nor will I defend homosexuality. Nonetheless, the idea that Alan Keyes would "disown" his daughter based on her sexuality is an anthema to not only christian teaching but sane behavoir as well.
