Boyzone's 'deadly' video
Nov 21, 2008, 9:45 GMT
Boyzone have been accused of sending a "deadly message" to their fans.
The recently reformed group have sparked outrage among Irish clergy with the video for their new song 'Better'.
The music promo sees openly gay singer Stephen Gately embrace a man while the other band members - Ronan Keating, Mikey Graham, Keith Duffy and Shane Lynch - canoodle with women.
The Rev. David McCullough, minister of Dromore Reformed Presbyterian Church, fumed: "This video, that will be watched by millions, is sending out a deadly message to young people. It is stating that homosexuality is simply another norm.
"The video very cleverly interweaves softly lighted, black and white images of heterosexual couples with a homosexual couple. The message is plain and the often repeated drum beating of the homosexual lobby that says that homosexuality is a normal lifestyle."
The holy man claims the video is "a perversion of God's good and perfect plan" and airing it runs the risk of harming young people.
Boyzone have not commented on the claims.
