The president knows that same-sex couples have the same right to marry and enjoy the legal benefits of marriage as opposite-sex couples do. He has expressed this knowledge several times in public speeches. He also knows that like many of his generation, his views have changed over time; this process has occurred as a result of meeting and becoming friends with couples who are gay.
