Boyzone Boy Band Features Gay Lovin'

The new video "Better" from Boyzone, features a gay couple among the other heterosexual ones. The The BBC writes:

Boyzone have become the first boyband to feature a gay couple in their video. Singer Stephen Gately teams up with a male actor for the touchy feely scenes in their latest single Better.

The other Boyzone members are paired with girls but Stephen, who came out in 1999 and is in a civil partnership, wanted things to be different. He told Newsbeat: "For me, it's just me being me and I don't think there should be a real big issue about the whole thing anyway."

It's a sweet, slightly overwrought, but, yeah, romantic song.
