Though Keyes is sometimes called “Ambassador Keyes,” the title can be a bit misleading: he served as the American ambassador to the United Nations Economic and Social Council, not as ambassador to the U.N. as a whole or to any individual nation… Opposed to a homosexual lifestyle, Keyes made headlines in 2004 when he publicly chastised Vice President Dick Cheney‘s gay daughter for “selfish hedonism.” By the end of 2004 it became public knowledge that Keyes’s own daughter, Maya, is gay.
