President Obama made history yesterday … by becoming the first sitting President to publicly endorse same-sex marriage.

“At a certain point I’ve just concluded that for me, personally, it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same-sex couples should be able to get married,” Obama said in an interview with ABC News’ “Good Morning America.”
