First gay couple appears on 'kiss cam' in ice hockey game

Brad Parr and Andy Evans were attending a match between the Los Angeles Kings and Toronto Maple Leafs

A gay couple have appeared on a stadium's 'kiss cam' for the first time in a US Ice Hockey game.

Brad Parr and Andy Evans were attending a match between the Los Angeles Kings, the side they support, and the Toronto Maple Leafs.

The couple can be seen in the video drawing a particularly loud cheer as they appear alongside other couples.

Mr Evans later tweeted saying how excited he was at making 'gay history'.

Speaking to Outsports.com, a site specialising in LGBT issues across sport, Mr Parr said how being featured couldn't have come at a more appropriate match.

"It was a particularly sweet night since the Kings were playing and beat my hometown Toronto," Parr told Outsports. "My parents and siblings live in LA but the rest of my family think I am a terrible traitor for being a Kings fan; I've lived in LA for 17 years."

The couple are avid triathletes and are raising money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society with their latest race, which can be donated to here.

Another Los Angeles team was lauded for similar reasons last year, when a gay couple was featured on the Dodgers baseball team's 'kiss cam'.
