Alan Keyes' Daughter Coming Out
Feb. 13, 2005


The 19-year-old daughter of Alan Keyes has a Valentine for the anti-gay rights conservative pundit and frequent Republican candidate.
Maya Marcel-Keyes will be making her first public appearance as a gay activist at a Valentine Day's rally in front of the Maryland State House, says Dan Furmansky, the leader of Equality Maryland, a gay rights group.
Last summer her father, a conservative pundit and frequent Republican candidate, caused a stir during the Republican convention by labeling Vice President Dick Cheney's lesbian daughter a sinner and calling homosexuality "selfish hedonism."
"It was kind of strange that he said it like a hypothetical," she told the Washington Post. "It was really kind of unpleasant."
Marcel-Keyes told the Post her parents have thrown her out of the house, stopped speaking to her and refuse to pay for college because she is gay. She said she loves her parents.
Keyes' Web site says he is against "the homosexual rights agenda, including same-sex marriage."
Marcel-Keyes grew up in Darnestown, Md., attended a conservative Catholic school for girls in McLean, Va., spent a year in the south of India advocating tribal rights, and plans to attend Brown University this fall, according to an Equality Maryland press release.
Furmansky told CBSNews.com that Marcel-Keyes would not be speaking to the media ahead of Monday's rally, and probably not afterward, either.
Bloggers have identified her Web site as http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=Xmisled0youthX. The author of the blog says it is public and she has nothing to hide.

Has this been confirmed ?
If it is true, then i give her props for coming out before milking his father to pay for college ...
Joking aside, I think she is very brave for coming out despite hers father strong opinions, maybe he will have a change of heart by recogninzing that gays/lesbians are just like anybody else , no better no worse

Either that or he'll disown her, which he pretty much did already.

Turning on your own flesh and blood. That's just low. So much for family values.

Between Cheney and Keyes, the GOP is certainly doing its part to advance the homosexual agenda.

I'd love to stretch this to an ad-hominem attack against the entire GOP, but even they are embarassed by Alan Keyes. Publicly, anyway. Well, Bush and Cheney did openly support Tom Coburn... maybe they only like white reactionary nutjobs.

I'm just relieved to know you were joking and didn't actually think that Alicia Keyes is Alan Keyes's daughter.
