He cut off contact with his lesbian daughter. Nice Guy. His daughter wrote the
following:


A couple days ago I got my official two-week warning that I have to be out of this apartment; so finally for real I'm getting cut off. I got no severance or anything like that from my sudden termination of employment (don't I have freedom of speech? the right to protest Bush without losing my job? Hehe... most people would think that working under a parent would be security but for me it's quite the opposite.) and so I definitely don't have anywhere near enough cash to find a new apartment; not even one room rented from someone anywhere. I've been searching craigslist but even places where I'd have enough to pay the first month's rent on some room I never have enough for the deposit as well, so so far I've had no luck at all finding a new home, since shelter requires money. Sad boo.

:kick:

1. I think his chances of dying alone and bitter are excellent.

2. What is it with all these RW bigots having lesbian daughters?

Do you think that they could be self absorbed to think that their daughters are faking being a lesbian just to spite them?

Maybe they have to deny the genetic reasoning for homosexuality because that would mean they are a carrier for the gene and by proxy a sinner.

15. Rebellion?

It reminds me of how a few rascist cops had daughters who gravitated to minority men. Or is it just an attention getter?

18. I think it's really sad

how he would kick and fire his own daughter because of that. Shouldn't he love her? Whatever happened to parents helping their children? Even when they're grown shouldn't they still help them? :cry:

3. I say we let him.

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

4. Pile him up in the corner with other "used and tossed out" by Repukes..

Linda Tripp
Alan Keyes
Zell Miller

Go ahead...insert your own.
When the fuck will these people ever learn??

12. I never did understand during the campaign

Why could Keyes call Mary Cheney a selfish hedonist, and not a peep. But let John Kerry call her "one of God's children" and mayhem ensues.

Yikes.

[FreedomAngel82]

19. That never made sense to me either

Kerry a bad man for saying she's being who she is as a person? :crazy: I know I'm in a mixed up world! Everything is upside down.

[LittleClarkie]

21. I'd bring it up to freeper people I know and they'd think they had me

by just saying "Well, Keyes isn't running for President and Kerry is."

5. That's fine with me. I'm saddened at how his daughter was treated.

Of course, it's not one fucking bit surprising, though. A hateful homophobe always...even when confronted by homosexuality in his own family. Disgusting, evil man.

6. heaven or hell are the result

of one's own choices. One that chooses to create divisions and differences, away from Unity and Love, has created their own hell, be it here on earth now or in the afterlife.

14. Inherit The Wind?

23. If You Plant Ice, You Gonna Harvest Wind.

Of course, I tend to think of it more in terms of a karmic newtonian action-reaction phenomenon rather than the result of some big invisible bearded man in the sky keeping score in a notebook, but that's just me.

7. ummmm, he has jeeeeeeeeeeeeeesus :-) eom

[w4rma]

8. Seems to me he's closer to Satan. (nt)

[HeeBGBz]

9. That sux

At least she is speaking out. How sad to have such a fucked up parent. I hope she finds a place.

[webjamn]

10. If God truly has a sense of humor

Delay's kids will be environmentalists and Santorum's son will be a homosexual prostitute

[ebayfool]

20. LOL ! From your lips to ... ears!

[fortyfeetunder]

11. Is Keyes still living in Illinois?

Maybe he needs an exit pass for returning where he came from

[ThorsHammer]

16. Someone mentioned he was considering a gubernatorial run

I thought it was a joke, especially in the same state where Obama thumped him 99-1 or whatever, but apparently he is thinking about it.

[orleans]

17. i thought i heard/read he packed his baggies

and got the hell out of dodge.

after reading his daughter's blog it appears she opted to stay

[leesa]

13. Well...Godspeed!

[Crunchy Frog]

22. Why is it that so many notorious homophobes

end up having gay children?

At any rate, I think she should write a tell all "Daddy Dearest" type book. She could probably get a good enough advance on it from the publisher to live on. It would probably be a best seller.

That's what I'd do in her situation.
