The three-point functions for minimal models coupled to gravity are derived in the operator approach to Liouville theory which is based on its $U_q(sl(2))$ quantum group structure. The result is shown to agree with matrix-model calculations on the sphere. The precise definition of the corresponding cosmological constant is given in the operator solution of the quantum Liouville theory. It is shown that the symmetry between quantum-group spins $J$ and $-J-1$ previously put forward by the author is the explanation of the continuation in the number of screening operators discovered by Goulian and Li. Contrary to the previous discussions of this problem, the present approach clearly separates the emission operators for each leg. This clarifies the structure of the dressing by gravity. It is shown, in particular that the end points are not treated on the same footing as the mid point. Since the outcome is completely symmetric this suggests the existence of a picture-changing mechanism in two dimensional gravity.
