The Backstreet Boys are commemorating
20 years of making music with a tour, new album and song that shows support for
marriage equality.
The world's biggest-selling boy band
introduced a music video for their song titled In A World Like This is the
title song of their new album, which will be released at the end of the month.
'The concept of the video is based on
the song, which tells a story of how love conquers all and "in a world
like this" that we live in, with all the craziness and negative energy
that can go around, with real love you can overcome anything,' band member A.J.
McLean said to Good Morning America.
All five original BSB members, Nick
Carter, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell, Kevin Richardson and McLean, are in the
video.
According to McLean, the video looks
at 'huge moments in history': the moon landing, the attacks on 11 September and
the day marriage rights returned to California.
In the music video, a female couple
hold hands after the US Supreme Court's Proposition 8 decision.
'Marriage equality is an ongoing
issue for years. BSB wants to show our support for the LGBT community and we
believe that two people of the same sex should have the right to get married,'
McLean said.
BSB also showed its support of the
gay community when it performed, late last month, at London's Gay Pride.
The band will start touring in early
August.

ReplyDeletesame thing, I am glad I didn't go with my instinct which was whatever when I heard about this song from a friend, this song is timely and very much appreciated by me.
DeleteWow this is such a beautiful music video, love the fact that artist are using their platform to change people`s mindset of same sex relationships which are no different that straight relationships. It`s normal and healthy.
