We shall see. Just for the record though, 1996 was when Obama came out against DOMA and said he would unequivocally oppose any attempt to amend the US constitution to make marriage between gays impossible.
Which sounds great but isn't the same as stating unequivocal support for gay marriage. Rather it's the same position he's got now.
