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." -

Sir David Attenborough said 'fuck this' last night after Strictly Come Dancing became the most popular television programme in the world.
Sir David added: "We spent four years developing a camera we could put inside a hummingbird's egg so you could actually witness the development of those amazing wings.
"We then waited for the bird to hatch and grow and then filmed it at such close range you could see the expression on its face.
"But no, you're right. How tedious. If only we'd trained the little fucker to dance."
A spokesman for the BBC said: "The groundbreaking thing about Strictly Come Dancing is that we take people you would not normally associate with dancing and then we film them dancing.
"Often we do have to remind the viewer who the celebrity is so they realise the celebrity would not normally be dancing. But then we can say 'wow, look at that bloke off the news - he's dancing!'" -
