A couple months ago Sean Avery made
some news in speaking out about being willing to support an openly gay player
in the NHL. During the past few days a
video has been released of Sean Avery speaking out in support of "New Yorkers for Marriage Equality." The campaign
commercial spread rapidly and has been considered a boost to the cause of
marriage equality in New York State.
A little over two hours ago the Human Rights Campaign sent an e-mail notifying that the New
York Rangers are backing Avery?s stance on the issue as an organization. The move by the Rangers makes them the first
not only NHL, but professional sports franchise to come out in support of the
issue.
The move by both Avery and the Rangers
organization is one that speaks to standing up for things you believe in. I have no doubt that this is a contentious
issue for many, as are most political topics, but for both parties to put their
name and in some measure reputations...
