Conservative's daughter reveals homosexuality at rally

BY RUDOLPH BUSH

Complete story
Chicago Tribune
ANNAPOLIS, Md. - (KRT) - The daughter of conservative firebrand Alan Keyes announced her homosexuality at a gay rights rally here Monday, publicly revealing for the first time what had been an open secret during her father's failed senatorial campaign.

Maya Marcel-Keyes, 19, spoke only obliquely of her sexual orientation in a brief speech before a crowd of several hundred people outside the Maryland State House.

Though she spoke mainly of the troubles of homeless gay youth, Marcel-Keyes addressed the difficulties she faced growing up as the daughter of one of the country's most outspoken opponents of homosexual lifestyles and gay marriage.

QUOTE Pah [Wouldn't this make a case about nuture not being a "cause" of homosexuality?]
Forgive my ignorance, I never knew that nurture had been suggested as a cause of homosexuality.
I would think it is the 'other way around' (From my limited Wordly knowledge).
My Father was what I call a 'Testoronic' man; (Men were Men, and women were glad of it!) - I think, if anything, that my well developed 'mental feminine side' arose as a child's rebelling instinct towards my father.
I can say the same for my older son; he is the 'testoronic' type (He spent much of his early days with me due to my wife's most unfortunate post-natal depression) - I believe that , in his case, he rebelled against my 'gentle' side.
I do think that children love to contradict their parents (consciously as well as sunconsciously), at an age when they begin to 'forge' their own personality.
I am not saying that Alan Keyes' daughter would not have been homosexual had her father not been against homosexuals, but I think the 'rebel' in her perhaps prompted the publicity of her 'coming out' in defiance of her father.
