The Arbitrary ChuckJerry

Alan Keyes is the black Republican who ran for president 4 years ago and most recently got his ass handed to him by Barack Obama in the Illinois senate race. In the past he has been quite candid in his dislike for homosexuality.

For example, he chided "Big Time" Cheney's daughter, Mary, for being a lesbian and said that she was engaging in "selfish hedonism." Well, Mr. Keyes apparently has a lesbian daughter of his own now who he can bash at will. Maya Keyes, currently 19 years old, spoke yesterday about being a lesbian at a gay rights rally in Maryland.

Alan Keyes responded to his daughter being a lesbian by firing her from working on his political organization, refusing to pay her college tuition, and throwing her out of the house.

Here's a direct quote from a radio interview, the same one where he bashed Mary Cheney:

"if my daughter were a lesbian, I'd look at her and say, 'That is a relationship that is based on selfish hedonism.' I would also tell my daughter that it's a sin and she needs to pray to the Lord God to help her deal with that sin."

I would bet any amount of money that he had already had this conversation with his daughter at this point. Then Mr. Keyes had a prepared statement for the reporters that called him yesterday seeking comment:

"My daughter is an adult, and she is responsible for her own actions. What she chooses to do has nothing to do with my work or political activities."

What a dick. Way to be a dick, Alan.
