Michelle Obama weighs in as Democrats seek midterm boost
First Lady Michelle Obama says politics is not her identity yet her presence could aid Democratic candidates in the fall. She has promoted the Let's Move campaign in Nevada with Harry Reid and sent emails to Organizing for America supporters, while keeping an arms-length distance from overt political activity. Her popularity could attract funds and support for campaigns, though her exact role remains under White House guidance.

First gay couple wed in Argentina under new law
After 27 years together, Jose Luis Navarro and Miguel Angel Calefato became the first gay couple to wed under Argentina’s same sex marriage statute. The ceremony in Santiago del Estero used a civil registry officer’s pen to change “man and woman” to “contracting parties.” Navarro said respect prevailed over prejudice as Argentina, the first Latin American nation to legalize gay marriage, extended equal rights including inheritance and joint adoption.
