Crowd goes wild at NHL's first gay kiss-cam moment
The crowd went wild at a recent Kings-Leafs game in L.A., but it wasn't for the on-ice action.
When the infamous kiss cam landed on a gay couple and the pair locked lips, the Staples Center crowd erupted in cheers.
Toronto native Brad Parr and his partner Andy Evans were reportedly the
first-ever same-sex couple to smooch on an NHL kiss cam.
"It was a particularly sweet night since the Kings were playing and beat my hometown Toronto," said Parr.
"My parents and siblings live in L.A. but the rest of my family think I
am a terrible traitor for being a Kings fan; I've lived in L.A. for 17
years."
