Barack Obama attended a private fund-raiser with gay supporters here last week where, according to this account in The Advocate, he spoke about his position on gay marriage:

Obama said he did not think it was “politically feasible” to secure marriage rights for same-sex couples in the country at this point. Sen. Obama acknowledged that the community wanted full marriage rights but said that he favored civil unions for now while leaving open the possibility that his position might evolve in the future.

Later, Obama reportedly promised to do more interviews with gay news outlets.

It's not the first time Obama has discussed his position on gay marriage but he did so this time in Hillary Clinton's territory. In the New York primary, gay voters favored her by a margin of nearly 2-1.
