The Pet Shop Boys release their new single on 16 March. The group, Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe were criticised by some in the 80s and early 90s for not being "gay enough" in contrast to say Jimmy Somerville or even Boy George. Their latest video (which strikes me as very Gilbert and George inspired) called 'Love etc' features a number of couples kissing at one point and they include same sex couples. It will probably not get any comment in the media and few will even notice it. That is significant, for it reminds us how our society has changed since their first hit, West End Girls hit number one in 1986. The video can be seen below and I love it.
