Richard John (commonly known as "Jack") Baker, 73, holds a copy of the January 26, 1971 Look magazine article, "The Homosexual Couple" about him (at left in magazine photo) and Michael McConnell, now 72 (he turns 73 on May 18, 2015), in the backyard of the couple's home in the Lyndale neighborhood of Minneapolis, Minnesota on May 4, 2015.

The couple, who have been a couple for 48 years, sought to have their 1971 marriage legally recognized, appealing their case Baker v. Nelson all the way to the United States Supreme Court. where the court dismissed the appeal "for want of a substantial federal question."
