President Obama's announcement came several days after Vice President Joe Biden said that he was 'absolutely comfortable with the fact that men marrying men, women marrying women and men and women marrying are entitled to the same exact rights, all the civil rights, all the civil liberties.'
The move, thought to be a misstep as he made his opinion known before Mr Obama publicly declared his, was criticized by many within the administration and outside of the White House.
Mr Romney re-affirmed his opposition to gay marriage in a speech to graduates of evangelical Liberty University in Virginia last week. He described marriage as an 'enduring institution' and said that it should be 'a relationship between one man and one woman'.

美国《资讯周刊》近日公布了下期的封面照,大胆地将奥巴马称为“第一位同性恋总统”,还在他的头上绘出代表同性恋的彩虹光环。
《资讯周刊》杂志及姐妹网站《每日野兽》的主编蒂娜-布朗偏爱富有争议的封面,以提高杂志关注度和销量。
据称,在《时代》杂志采用年轻的金发美女妈妈给三岁儿子哺乳的封面照后,布朗选择从容应对,她说:“游戏开始了”。
封面照片的相关文章由《资讯周刊》常驻博主安德鲁•苏利文撰写,苏利文是公开的同性恋者,还自称是保守派政治权威。
