This is upsetting because I have to admit that Westlife is one of those bands I have always loved. Yes, I know they are cheesy pop but they have lasted this long doing songs I still enjoy. Now Brian was part of the band until he departed from the group a while back. I am shocked because Mark Feehily, who is in the band Westlife, is an "Out" gay man.
Seems as though Brian thinks "Real Men" should not wear Pink.. Hmmm..
The ex-WESTLIFE star shocked listeners on a New Zealand radio show, saying: "If you are not gay, a man should not be wearing pink.
"Saying pink is a form of red is the same as saying homosexual is a form of male."
Understandable, gay rights activists have accused the singer of homophobia.
A local Auckland charity have spoken out, with Rainbow Youth co-ordinator Robert Marshall saying: "It's the sort of stuff that gets said every day in the schoolyard. A lot of young people are quite impressionable, and when they see celebrities saying stuff like that, they think it's OK to say it themselves." [SOURCE]
