Homocon Carl DeMaio: I Am A Proud Gay American, Not A Tea Party Extremist

Not only that, he’s an ORPHAN. The Voice Of San Diego reacts:

DeMaio released an ad this week in his congressional race that cements a shift that played out far longer than the others, but one that’s no less dramatic and a lot more personal. DeMaio looks straight into the camera for most of the ad, and leads off by referring to himself as, “a proud gay American.” Family photos from his troubled upbringing flicker across the screen. It’s tough to overstate how big of departure this is for DeMaio. More than three years ago, DeMaio was tight-lipped about his personal life and upbringing, almost never showing any side of himself that wasn’t related to politics. When a television station asked to film the four major mayoral candidates’ hobbies, one chose working out, another walking her dog and the third playing the piano. DeMaio picked knocking on doors for his campaign.
