Keyes daughter in the blogosphere?

Check this out. In what is apparently Alan Keyes' daughter's blog, there's an account of someone coming up to her at a campaign event, noticing her rainbow bracelet. The person asked her on the sly if she's "family" and she responded yes. Then another gay person came up to her and offered his support for her being in a conservative family and still wearing a rainbow bracelet. So sounds like the apple falls far from the tree on that issue. Just how far? You tell me. Sez the blog:
    "...My aunt said something about him being the "voice of America" re: gay rights and he has been one of gay marriage's most outspoken critics, campaigning round-the-clock to make sure that people like yours truly will never be able to enjoy the same benefits he already has. Sometimes I cannot believe I am related to this man. Haha though I'm sure he feels the same way about me."
later...
    "my parents and I were seriously not getting along and so we needed some time off from each other; the idea was that after a year of being a wonderful good helping-the-poor type person they would once again like me and therefore be willing to pay for my college I'm not so sure that part of it will work; despite the fact that I'm all about working for global justice THEY don't care about that, THEY only care that I am an evil dyke. And even if I am a charitable dyke I am still a dyke who KISSES GIRLS and especially with the gay marriage thing going on now that's at the front of their minds. "
Wow, I never read about this on IllinoisLeader.com or anywhere else. Curious that Keyes would attack Dick Cheney's daughter. The blog also says she likes Nader except that he's pro-abortion. Still she may vote for him anyway because he has "a snowball's chance in hell of ever getting elected so it won't matter." All around interesting read.

Brilliant detective work. Conservatives love to talk about everyone's "family values" but their own. Let Alan Keyes know what it feels like to have his family under public scrutiny by strangers -- then next time maybe he'll think twice about opening his big fat mouth and commenting on other peoples' families.

Conservatives like Keyes, Jack Ryan, and Bush love to dictate moral values to other people, only for the public to discover their own f%$k-ups. (By the way -- Keyes' daughters sexual orientation isn't "dirty laundry" , it's Keyes' obvious hypocrisy and clueless parenting.

Hi, I'm Carol from Illinois. What is even more interesting about Mr. Keyes, is his intellectual mentor, Allan Bloom. Bloom was a University of Chicago professor who wrote, "The Closing of the American Mind" a treatise on the decay of U.S. universities. Saul Bellow, yes the Nobel Prize winner for literature, famously "outed" Bloom in his book, "Ravelstein". Keyes followed Bloom from Cornell to Paris. According to people who know, Bloom was pretty much out of the closet and there is know way, Keyes didn't know what was going on. See this post:
