Barrack Obama
President Obama repealed the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" presidential order that prevented gays from serving openly in the military. Additionally, he has instructed United States attorneys to not fight gay equal rights activist's attempts to have the Defense of Marriage Act ruled unconstitutional. The Defense of Marriage Act currently prevents the federal government from recognizing same-sex marriages that are now legal in several states.
On May 9th 2012 President Obama publicly announced his support for gay marriage.
