PHOTO: (click on photo to enlarge) publisher's flyer for the new book by Michael McConnell with Jack Baker, As told to Gail Langer Karwoski, "The Wedding Heard 'Round the World, America's First Gay Marriage," University of Minnesota Press, Jan. 2016. The flyer refers to the "front page of the New York Times -- Read their story here:" http://tinyurl.com/mcconnell-baker. (See previous post Baker marriage hits N.Y. Times front page only 4 decades late (5/17/15)) Source: I resized the above photo smaller from the original PDF flyer emailed to me by Michael McConnell, Sun, May 31, 2015 at 12:29 PM. UPDATE 6/22/15 the book is available for preorder: Michael McConnell (Author), with Jack Baker (Author), "The Wedding Heard ’Round the World: America’s First Gay Marriage Hardcover – January 15, 2016," $22.95 at Amazon accessed Jun. 22, 2015 (note this is an unpaid click without tracking for compensation)
Also, note that Jack Baker and Michael McConnell were recently interviewed for the "Special Series Same-Sex Marriage and the Supreme Court," by National Public Radio and I have yet to find out the exact time they can be heard, but they think some aired last weekend and the full interview will be broadcast after the U.S. Supreme Court decides on the gay marriage cases before the Court. Both men were also mentioned in a recent NPR story "Special Series Same-Sex Marriage and the Supreme Court, Timeline: Gay Marriage In Law, Pop Culture And The Courts," npr.org posted June 26, 2013 that said, "1972 - In Baker v. Nelson, the U.S. Supreme Court dismisses a challenge of a ruling from Minnesota that gay couples have no constitutional right to marry, saying the appeal fails to raise a "substantial federal question.""
I'll post more after reading their book and hearing their interview.
