In 2008, Barack Obama was in favor of equal rights for gay people, but when it came to marriage, he still only supported civil unions. As he has noted in interviews, his position gradually changed: over the next several years, encouraged by some of his supporters as well as by his daughters and wife, he "evolved" (as he put it) to a position of agreement that gay people deserved full equality, including the right to marry.

McCain wanted same-sex marriage to be left up to the states with no federal recognition. Obama opposed same-sex marriage on "religious grounds." Obama otherwise favored gay rights and McCain wanted no change in gay rights on the federal level.
