Intolerance as a 'family value'

Say whatever you want about Alan Keyes. A perennial loser when it comes to political office, he's nothing if not ruthlessly consistent when it comes to gay people.

<snip>

Leave it to Keyes to figure out a new twist on "family values." He and his wife Jocelyn wasted no time in kicking Maya out of the house when she refused to repent of her selfish hedonism. Keyes also stopped paying her tuition to Brown University and kicked her off the staff of his crackerjack political organization.

Is there a moral to this story? Let's see: Newt Gingrich's sister is gay. Eagle Forum harridan Phyllis Schlafly's son is gay. Mary Cheney, Coors flak and daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Satan, is gay. Family values are getting a real workout in the GOP these days.

Asked about Keyes kicking his own daughter to the curb, Steve Glassman, chairman of the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission, could barely contain his I-told-you-so:

"I think this calls into question the legitimacy of the claim by the Right that they're the keeper of family values," he said wryly. "It's an extraordinary overreaction. Abandoning one's child certainly doesn't follow the tenets of Jesus."

1. God/Jesus would what you to love your child no matter what is right

2. Hate IS a Family Value

That's actually a bumper sticker I've seen.

And fundies I've "spoken with" online have said so too.

Hate is a Family Value, according to them, and it's not only acceptable to hate a gay person but God (and Jesus) want it that way, they say, because the gay person is "a sinner".

You know, love the sinner, hate the sin, and if you're an unrepentant sinner then get the hell out of my house and workplace and church and neighborhood and school and grocery store.

These hypocritical, hateful people are absolutely the ugliest that mankind has to offer.
