While he was with the Dallas Stars in 2008-09, Sean Avery was quick to make gay friends in Big D and even took his teammates to a Nieman Marcus fashion show.
Now that Avery is with the New York Rangers, he’s gone a step further — speaking out in favor of marriage equality in the video above.
In an interview about the video with The New York Times, Avery doesn’t reference his brief, controversial stint in Dallas:
“The places I’ve played and lived the longest have been in West Hollywood, Calif., when I played for the L.A. Kings, and when I moved to New York, I lived in Chelsea for the first four years,” Avery said in a phone interview. “I certainly have been surrounded by the gay community. And living in New York and when you live in L.A., you certainly have a lot of gay friends.”
