SAN DIEGO: Openly Gay Mayoral Candidate Backed By Major Prop 8 Supporter

According to a March 2008 story from the U-T San Diego, Terry Caster said he supported Prop. 8 because, “Without solid marriage, you are going to have a sick society.” The Casters have some other odd ideas on what constitutes a "solid" marriage. So, it was surprising to see this tweet from mayoral candidate Carl DeMaio earlier today. DeMaio is gay and in a committed relationship with the publisher of the online San Diego Gay and Lesbian News. When DeMaio first ran for City Council, in 2008, he declined to take a position on Prop. 8, but has since become more active in the gay community. But though his mayoral campaign's "coalitions" include an LGBT group, DeMaio's made it clear that gay-rights issues won't be part of the campaign.So we have an openly gay candidate who isn't interested in gay rights and who is being backed by a local corporate giant that's still being boycotted over Prop 8. How very odd...oh WAIT. He's a teabagging homocon. Mystery solved.
