I could say knock me over with a feather. Wow. I cannot even begin to imagine the conversation she had with her parents.

Having two daughters, I have thought through that scenario. I am not sure how I would have handled something like that.

She will of course be given a fawning interview on Queer Channel Radio (NPR).

I have three daughters. If faced with the situation, I would continue to love her, but anyone living under our roof is required to live a Christian life. Those who refuse to may live however they wish-- elsewhere. I imagine the same is true in the Keyes household, which is why they are no longer supporting her financially.

Crocodile tears from a so-called "gay parent." How disgusting. Maya should be ashamed of herself, but the savage creature who wrote this is obviously incapable of that emotion.

Let's just be clear here. Dan Savage is a gay activist. So make sure you read this article through that lens.

Sadly for Maya Keyes, her father apparently has more affection for his ideology than for his daughter. She says her parents kicked her out of the house and have refused to pay for her education. (Thankfully, some of those evil gay people have come forward to pay her tuition at Brown next year through the Point Foundation.) Perhaps Mr. and Mrs. Cheney could find the time to call Mr. and Mrs. Keyes and explain how parents who actually value their families react when they learn one of their children is gay.

Oh, the horror, not paying for her education!

Keyes sticks with his principles and the author condemns him for it.

The whole gay marriage issue is a canard. If this "guy" wnats to be married to his "partner," they can have a ceremony; it just won't be recognised by the State. Property issues can be handles through wills and contracts. They do not have to have a state sanctioned marriage to acquire the benefits that straights enjoy in marriage. The issue revolves, really, around acceptance of deviant behaviour.

SO far 2005 hasn't been a very good year for gays and lesbians. ...and a deadly new strain of H.I.V. has surfaced.

Unwittingly, they have admitted that H.I.V. is primarily traced to homosexual activity. If someone else had stated it they would have pounced and accused them of a hate crime for having the temerity to state so.

I know what I would say, "I love you unconditionally". Nothing could ever come between me and my two son's. They are both married and have beautiful children. I would be hurt to know one was gay, but never would I turn my back on them. I am a conservative and I like Keyes, but this time I think he made a mistake he will live to regret. He can never mend that wound. He would be a better parent to express his love and start praying.

That might good advice to some, however, I would rather read it through my own lens. I usually get it right.

I am very sure that a large proportion of these so-called "gay" offspring are nothing of the sort.

These are otherwise innocents who have been proseletized, promoted, subverted and seduced by a relentless campaign of propaganda and pressure. I wonder if it is even a wise thing anymore to send a child to University.

These former places of refuge and learning are now swamps of leftist lies, perversion and hate.

We seem to be nearing the time that torches must be lit.

Figuratively, of course. I don't want to be seen as promoting violence. Especially aginst the slimeballs inhabiting our Universities. Like Ward Churchill, as he is of this same cloth.

Bravo I tend to agree with your comment. Hey, I suppose she could have hid her choice of companionship until she finished college. Seems she tried to take the high road with her family.

I do agree, a parent is a parent all of their life. As Christians we should love one another, we do not need to agree with one another but it may be a very lonely road for the Keyes family.

Not in their shoes but you get my drift.

Whenever I read any article from the NYTimes I pretty much assume the author is a gay activist.

The Washington Blade has no problem admitting it's a homosexual newspaper. I wonder why the NY Times is so squeamish about coming out of its glass closet.

Extremely classless on the part of the daughter, not only for the harm it does to her father, but also with respect to the TMI given to the rest of us.

Dan Savage is best known as the guy who posed as a Gary Bauer campaign volunteer for Salon.com. Upon discovering he had the flu, he went around the Bauer office "licking doorknobs" in hopes of infecting his hated enemy. He's a piece of work.

I've got news for you. Many of the most virulent anti-gay activists are themeselves gay, or worried that they might be. We're basically looking at a civil war.
