I suspect the father in this instance still loves his daughter, desires peace with her and even understands her. Where leftists have gone astray here is that they incorrectly think these virtues mean unbroken fellowship and acceptance when in fact they do not. Fathers are by no means obligated by any corrupt concept of "love" to accept the lives of unrepentant prodigal children who decide to reject their fathers and go their own way. They have no obligation to send them to college, to house them, to support their wrong choices or any such thing at all. Keyes's daughter, by standing apart from her parents, has declared herself an adult - a queer adult. She has no more right than you to live as she pleases under Alan Keyes's roof. She has no more right than you to use his resources. She also has no more right than you to his fellowship, especially that she has publicly rejected herself and her father, declaring herself his ideological enemy. Fathers are people too. It is Keyes's right, by love even his obligation, to allow his rebellious adult children to live their own lives unhindered by his views and the resources that have resulted of those views.
