I’m sure you’ve all wondered why I have not blogged about Alan Keyes, particularly after he promised<\/i> to make an inflammatory statements every day and every week until the election. He let me down; he’s been discussing tariffs. ( The Chicago Tribune<\/a> reports Keyes supports tariffs, and more specifically: “the conservative Republican advocating a position that runs counter to his party and more in line with stands advocated by some on the left”<\/i> ). But that’s hardly an Alan Keyes story worth blogging about.<\/p>\n

Today, things changed. Jason Kuznicki, of Positive Liberty<\/a>, alerted me to a rumor (and possible hoax) about Keyes’s 19 year old daughter, Maya. The story is running at Modern Vertabrate<\/a>, Josh Clayborn<\/a> and The Daily Kos<\/a>. For a variety of reasons, I was reluctant to blog about the young woman, who is not, after all, running for office. However, the story now appears in 365Gay.com, so the story is “out there”.<\/p>\n

Here goes: Keyes daughter may be gay. Some stories about her life may be being posted by a user named “Xmisled0youthX ” at a blog hosted by xanga.com<\/a>. (The final post seems to be dated April 24, 2004.)<\/p>\n

Many will recall that Keyes commented on Cheney’s gay daughter, calling her a “selfish hedonism.” Not surprisingly, Keyes was questioned about the rumors about his own daughter. 365Gay.com<\/a> reports the response Keyes gave at a Town Hall meeting somewhere in the South Side of Chicago: <\/p>\n

(Chicago, Illinois) GOP Senate Candidate Allan Keyes Monday night refused to answer questions about a growing number of rumors that his daughter is a lesbian.<\/div>\n

Maya Keyes has also been asked whether she is the author of the web site or a lesbian. She is refusing to answer either question.<\/p>\n

The Daily Kos has suggested this web page may be a hoax. If it is, it is a cruel one; no 19 year old woman deserves to be made the center of a political controversy not of her making. If it is not a hoax, and Maya is gay, I understand Alan Keyes even less than I previously thought.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
