Keyes' Daughter Destroying America...

...or something. Tough to make much sense of a raving lunatic.

(St Augustine, Florida) The coming out of his own daughter has not softened former Ambassador Alan Keyes' position on gays and same-sex marriage.

The conservative broadcaster and failed senate candidate delivered a scathing attack gay marriage at a Christian rally in St Augustine, Florida.

"Marriage exists in order to respect, recognize and enforce obligations that arise from the fact of procreation," Keyes said in his keynote address at ProFamily Rally 2005. (It's got nothing to do with love and respect for your partner? I mean, I'm just asking).

He then declared that heterosexual couples who choose not to have children do not hurt the institution, but a gay union would annihilate it.

Hey, check it out! Right here in the dictionary next to "Raving Lunatic Homophobe"...why, it's a picture of Alan Keyes!

He told the audience that allowing a judge to rule that same-sex couples can marry is a form of tyranny.

Umm. What? ~sigh~ Poor Bonk Jobs. And poor all-of-us for having to suffer the indignity of Keyes' existence. If only he understood how the judicial system worked. It's not tyranny for a judge to make a ruling according to the laws of the state/country. On the other hand, it is tyranny for the pResident to enact laws contrary to the best interest of the People by pResidential fiat -- I mean "Executive Order".

Keyes also said he does not see that there is a separation of church and state in the U.S. Constitution, noting that laws incorporate biblical values.

Right. Like the U.S. law banning worship of any god(s) other than Yahweh? Or the one which makes it illegal to go shopping on Sunday? Based on Biblical values, indeed.

Following Tuesday's speech in St Augustine Keyes refused to discuss his relationship with his own daughter.

Keyes' daughter came out last month at a Valentines Day demonstration in support of gay marriage in Maryland. (story)

It was Maya Marcel-Keyes first public appearance as a gay activist. Marcel-Keyes said her parents have thrown her out of the house, stopped speaking to her and refuse to pay for college because she is a lesbian.

Ah, yes. Family values! Warms the cockles of your heart, doesn't it?
