Prof. Carpenter Quoted in Star Tribune on Minneapolis Couple's Fight for Same-Sex Marriage

Professor Dale Carpenter was quoted in a Star Tribune article entitled "43 Years Later, Minneapolis Couple's Fight for Marriage Vindicated." More than four decades before the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed the right of same-sex couples to marry nationwide, Jack Baker ('72) and Michael McConnell applied for a marriage license and were wed in Minnesota. The decision "represents a kind of constitutional apology to Jack Baker and Mike McConnell, 43 years later," said Carpenter.
