From an email I received tonight from the Point Foundation:
The Point Foundation has awarded a scholarship to Maya Keyes, daughter of Politician Alan Keyes. Maya was disowned by her father and mother when they learned recently that she is lesbian.
The family has also withdrawn all support for Maya's college education. Alan Keyes received much attention when he labeled Mary Cheney a "selfish hedonist."
As announced in The Washington Post today (see full article below), with the help of The Point Foundation Maya will begin her studies at Brown University this fall as planned.
Maya's story is especially poignant because of her father's prominence, but countless young gay people find themselves in the same position everyday.
Please support us in helping Maya, and other young people like her, pursue her dreams with a college education.

I fully believe in the goals of the Point Foundation. The waste of a good mind must be avoided at all costs.
