Carl DeMaio

Quashing the doubts of many in San Diego’s LGBT community that City Councilman Carl DeMaio would take a pass on the March 28 LGBT Mayoral Candidate Forum at The Center, the candidate for mayor has confirmed that he will attend, according to officials at the debate’s venue.

However, a source involved in organizing the event said there was much doubt early on about whether or not the councilman would attend.

According to the source, who asked to remain anonymous because they were not authorized to speak to the press about the details of how the event was organized, special arrangements were made for DeMaio to have the option of leaving at 6:45 p.m., while the forum discussion and subsequent audience-questions period continued.

The DeMaio campaign did not reply to requests for confirmation about the purported special arrangement.
