Senator Obama's support of the LGBT community goes back a long time, as evidenced in this 2004 debate with vehemently anti-gay "presidential candidate" Alan Keyes. Obama was fighting Keyes for the open Illinois Senate seat and the two could not be more ideologically divergent.
Keyes is perhaps most famous in the LGBT community for his awful treatment of his lesbian daughter Maya Marcel-Keyes. He also was interviewed in the "Borat" movie about gay wrestling.
Barack holds his own and keeps in line with his current viewpoint of relationship recognition. He does get a little preachy with the "marriage is between one man and one woman" message, but it is understandable since he was trying to gain moderate votes from his crazy anti-gay competitor.
