The president has definitely changed his mind on this issue. When he was a senator, he said he was against allowing gay people to marry, although he did say he believed in civil unions. But early in 2012, he gave an interview where he said he has evolved on the issue, encouraged by his wife and daughters. Now he says he does believe in marriage equality for gay people. His opponents have said his change was politically-motivated (to get votes from the gay community); but on the other hand, many people have changed their views on social issues, so the president may be very sincere in coming around to believing that gay people should have the right to marry.
