Reunited Irish band Boyzone have made history with their new music video.

Reunited Irish band Boyzone have made history with their new music video.Boyzone have made history by being the first boyband to feature a gay couple in a music video. While the other band members have female love interests in the video for their new single Better, Stephen Gately teams up with a male actor. "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," He tells Newsbeat. "I just think it's just a beautiful video and I think it works superbly for the song. I'm hoping this video will have a good, positive, all-round reaction. I came out in 1999 and it was a big issue at the time and I don't think I could have done this video without having a guy in the video. I think it's important for me to be true to myself. The lads were saying, 'You've got to do this'. They were pushing saying, 'This would be fantastic'. It's the first of its kind. That's why I went for it."
