I Believe

I just wanted to write a short post to remember Stephen Gately, one of the singers from the 90's Irish boyband Boyzone, who died last week.

I had never thought about him this way until now, but when he came out to the public in 1999, it had a massive effect on me and my self-confidence. I think in a way it strengthened my resolve to see a celebrity embrace his sexuality so openly.

His brief solo career included the release of I Believe, one of my favourite pop tunes from 2000.
