Jimmy Carter Says America is Ready for a Gay President

Well, I am impressed. This is a clip from an interview that President Carter did for Big Think. I vote for Joel Burns as our first openly gay President

The former president also believes that the American people are ready for a gay president—maybe not in this coming election, but in the very near future. Americans have made tremendous strides in accepting homosexuality, he says. "Step-by-step, we have realized that this issue of homosexuality has the same adverse and progressive elements as when we dealt with the race issue 50 years ago – or 40 years ago." And with the country acclimated to having a black or female president, it's only a matter of time before it is ready for a gay one, he believes.
