Story3
This is the memoir of James C. Hormel - a man who grew up feeling different not only because his family owned the Hormel “empire” and lived in a 26 bedroom house in a small Midwest town, but because he was gay at a time when homosexuality was not discussed or accepted. Outwardly he tried to live up to the life his father wanted for him - he was a successful professional, had married a lovely woman, and had children - but as volatile changes in the late 1960s impeded on the American psyche, Hormel realized that he could not hide his true self forever.

Michael seemed like a typical New Yorker and in a lot of ways he was. He had a swagger and an accent that was unmistakable. That's what he wanted people to think about him. And he risked his life on 9/11 to come to the aid of his city. He was a hero-but that was not always the case throughout much of his life. Rescued from a life that was heading into crime and prostitution, Michael was reset on a road to become a responsible citizen.

This book offers a powerful journey into the early days of Pride, exploring ten essential facts that reveal how parades that now span continents began as bold acts of protest. From the explosive spark of the Stonewall Uprising in 1969 to the first Christopher Street Liberation Day March one year later, Avery Marlin vividly reconstructs a world where LGBTQ+ people lived under threat of arrest, harassment, and public shame — and the moment they decided to fight back.

On September 3rd, 1971, at the dawn of the modern gay movement, Michael McConnell and Jack Baker exchanged vows in the first legal same-sex wedding in the United States. But the battle to get there - legal and emotional - was only the start of their incredible lives together. Jack enrolled in law school, keeping his promise to Michael that he would figure out a way to marry. He did, but the repercussions would echo not only through their lives, but through those of every gay person in the US who ever wanted what this one pioneering couple did: a happy family life.
