President Obama can't see State Marriage Bans to stay Legal

President Obama told George Stephanopoulos that he believed gay marriage was a right under the Constitution and couldn't imagine state bans to remain legal.

HuffPo reports:
"Well, I’ve gotta tell you that -- in terms of practical politics, what I’ve seen is a healthy debate taking place state by state, and not every state has the exact same attitudes and cultural mores. And I -- you know, my thinking was that this is traditionally a state issue and -- that it will work itself out," he said. "On the other hand -- what I also believe is that the core principle that people don’t get discriminated against -- that’s one of our core values. And it’s in our Constitution."

That's very different than his statements in the past. I guess he is still evolving.
