Jack Baker and Michael McConnell sit at their solid oak dining table in their south Minneapolis home. An advance copy of Michael's memoir (to be released in January) sits in front of them. The memoir, titled The Wedding Heard 'Round the World, details their love story and commitment to each other that led to the United States' first gay wedding... in 1971.
