Yes. Bill Clinton announced on July 8, 2009 that he supports same-sex marriage. Previously, he did not support it and even signed the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act ("DOMA") into law during his presidency. That law prohibited federal recognition of same-sex marriages.
Yes. On May 9, 2012, President Obama announced that he supports same-sex marriage, three days after Vice President Biden suddenly announced that he was "perfectly comfortable" with marriage equality, and believed that gay men and lesbians should have the same marriage rights as heterosexuals. The president explained that he had "evolved" on the issue, and that his wife and daughters encouraged him to change his view.
President Obama now favors the complete repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) because "federal law should not discriminate in any way against gay and lesbian couples, which is precisely what DOMA does." In the past, Mr. Obama had stated that he was opposed to same-sex marriage, a view he continued to express when he was campaigning for the presidency in 2008. He had stated previously that his religious belief led him to a traditional view of marriage, that it should be between a man and a woman only. On the other hand, Mr. Obama did support civil unions at that time. It should also be noted that although the president now supports marriage equality, he does not believe religious institutions should be forced to perform ceremonies that run counter to their beliefs. What he supports is civil marriage.
Mr. Bush is a religious literalist, and he interprets The Bible in such a way that leads him to conclude that homosexuality is a sin (which, as a matter of fact, it is), so he is against gay marriage.
He doesn't allow it. He's against it because he believes it's morally wrong (And so does 90% of the world).
In an interview that aired on CBS on April 25, 2013, former President George W. Bush was asked about same-sex marriage. His response was, "As you know, I'm not going to be weighing in on these issues because I made the decision to leave the stage and I am not on the stage anymore."
Yes. Barack Obama believes that same-sex couples have a constitutional right to marry in all fifty US states.
Although she stated she opposed same-sex marriage during her 2008 presidential campaign, she has since "come out" publicly as a supporter of same-sex marriage, together with her husband.
Yes, as of May 2012, he supports the legalization of same-sex marriage.

Did George Bush propose a law to ban same-sex marriage?
If you are referring to the senior George Bush, no. If you are referring to the junior George Bush, the answer is still no. The federal law banning federal recognition of same-sex marriage dates to 1996, during the Clinton administration, which occurred between the two Bush administrations. During the junior Bush's presidency, there was a proposal to amend the constitution of the United States to ban same-sex marriage. This is a constitutional amendment, not a law. It was not proposed by President Bush. It was defeated in the legislature and never made it to Bush's desk for signature or veto.
