Michael Irvin is one of the best players the NFL has ever seen at his wide receiver position. When he was inducted into the NFL Hall Of Fame in 2007 Irving had reached football's peak.

The married father of three, has maintained a high profile in the public's eye in recent years as a very opinionated on-air analyst for the NFL Network.

Irvin has also become an outspoken advocate for the gay community. He just covered Out magazine, a publication that deals with gay men's fashion, entertainment and lifestyle. Irvin said his brother was gay and it opened his eyes to the fact that everyone should be treated with equality.

Irvin's brother, Vaughn died of stomach cancer in 2006.

TMZ caught up with Irvin earlier this week and the former player talked about God allowing each individual to make their own choices about who they want to be with.

"God has taken away a great deal of choices," Irvin said. "He doesn't give you the choice of mom, bad, brother, sister, cousin, uncle [or] nephew. He gives you the choice of companion. Now if God decided to give you that choice I don't think the government should mess with it."

What do you think of Irvin's stance on gay equality?
