Hi, I'm Dag Erik (DENMHIF, DENHIF), one of the makers of this video and the man in costume.

I am not gay, this video is straight. I have nothing against gays, I love Pet Shop Boys, their my absolutely favourites, but I am totally straight. I have a girlfriend that I love.

Sonny, the man in the couch is not gay either.

The story is about a man(Me, Dag Erik, the man in costume)that shall propose to the girl (Nina) but finds her together with another man (Sonny). The whole walking is after the proposal. I throw the ring box in the end.

I took a bit of the real story of the song. It's about Cynthia Lennon finding John Lennon and Yoko Ono together: http://www.geowayne.com/psbhtml.htm

Thx for the comments

Hey there,

I don't think anyone actually meant to question your sexuality or your friends - I was talking about the song content, not the video content, I think the video speaks for itself - Excellent by the way.

Well, it was Pet Shop Boys Girls post I answered most, just wanted to explain

Oh don't worry about it. Some people interpret *anything* with a PSB connection as being über gay. Even sitting and reading the newspaper would be construed as gay

. Go figure.

Good video by the way!

Pet Shop Boys themselves mentioned about this video on their official site. Congrats!

Why the assumption that it's two gay men?
Yes i did think the same thing

I never took it that way one bit.

Because its a guy who walks in on the couple in the video instead of a woman.

Well done video maker!!!
Maybe Neil and Chris will include this on an upcoming compilation.
After all 'My Robot Friend' is getting mileage from PSB and from Robbie.
Good luck!

It's great to see a heterosexual video with a PSB song I mean, I suppose if PSB had made something similar it would have had a gay context.

Congratulations!!

I think this is the other video Neil talks about:

I like the music not the video.

It was a little too monotonous to my taste.
I agree with some in liking the integral video better. Integral vid is more futuristic and reminds me of Austin Power's movie (with Dr. Evil) a bit. *lol*

Your a woman so you would look at it that way, i always looked at it on the man walking in on her lost love. The gay link i do not get one bit.

And there not much chance on the man now going straight

I only see it as the guy walking in and seeing his woman getting cosy with someone another man and him feeling so uncomfortable that he leaves. I can see why people could see a gay-link but it is one of those scenarios where it works equally both ways. It could be gay, it could just as easily be straight.
