Bill Gates was interviewed by Politico's Mike Allen and discussed some of the things he learned while in the Boy Scouts. Then the conversation turned, as it inevitably would, to the Boy Scouts' ban on gay scouts and scouters. Gates did not feel the need to elaborate on his response, nor should he have to.
ALLEN: Should the Boy Scouts of America rescind its ban on gay members and leaders?
GATES: Absolutely.
ALLEN: …Why?
GATES: Because it’s 2013.
This is exactly the right attitude to have about this. This is the attitude to have about a lot of issues. Why is gay marriage not a thing? Why are women paid less than men? Why is evolution, a.k.a. actual science not taught in every science class? It's 2013, let's get a clue.
Also, CPAC is happening right now, but more on that tomorrow. There are some bigoted racist homophobic sexist interesting characters there.
