Obama has always been strongly anti-gay marriage, unfortunately, I don't expect him to change - although change would put him where the majority of society is now (in favor of it) I do appreciate he ended DADT.

Post-Repeal, Airman Discharged Under ‘Don’t Ask’ Policy.
In December, Congress repealed the ban on gays and lesbians serving openly in the military.
But the policy, known as “don’t ask, don’t tell,” remains in effect: The president, the secretary of defense and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff must still certify that lifting the policy does not affect military readiness, and full repeal takes effect 60 days after that.
i wonder how long it will take for that certification??
