Who was the first president to support gay marriage

The president since then has fully endorsed marriage equality and is the only president in history to assume office in support of gay marriage, telling 60 Minutes that the issue is “settled” and he’s “fine with it.” Trump also came out in support of allowing gays to serve openly in the military and ending “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell.”.

WASHINGTON (BP) — President Obama Wednesday became the first sitting U.S. president to support gay “marriage” publicly, an announcement that was surprising perhaps only in its timing and one that could impact the general election.
