Gay marriage advocates are becoming increasingly frustrated with President Barack Obama.

Immediately following Wednesday's ruling that struck down California's gay marriage ban, known as Proposition 8, the White House issued a statement in support of the decision.

"The president has spoken out in opposition to Proposition 8 because it is divisive and discriminatory. He will continue to promote equality for LGBT Americans," gay glossy The Advocate reported.

But an unnamed White House aide told POLITICO.com that the president does not support gay marriage, only civil unions for gay and lesbian couples.
