High School Students Grill Obama, Keyes
The students have been following the Senate race closely, and came ready with pointed questions on everything from gun ownership to gay marriage. One student wanted to know if Keyes' opposition to gay marriage and his apparent belief that the gay lifestyle will send someone to eternal hell would apply to his own family members.
"I consider the eternal salvation of my children to be the real aim of my parenting, not how they feel today, not how they look today, but whether or not they shall be pleasing and acceptable to God," Keyes replied.
The candidate was asked directly if his own family members were gay, and he would not answer. But he did say that would not change his opposition to the gay lifestyle.
"You can bet I won't betray that truth for the sake of any ambition, any office, any election on the face of this Earth," Keyes said. "Because I promise to you that the hearts of my children are far more important to me than anything I can achieve in this election or anything else the world has to offer me."
