Look up the group 'Frankie Goes To Hollywood' That may point you in the right direction.

Boyzone and Adam Lambert aren't bad ones.

I Was Born To Love You by Queen includes some depictions of homosexuality. Bear in mind it's nothing to do with Freddie though, like all of the posthumous album Made In Heaven, the videos were directed by film school students.

In one of the Boyzone videos, the 4 straight men get a lady each and Stephen gets a man. That could help with your research.

I'm kind of loathe to say this but assume you are talking both male and female homosexuality in which case TATU All the things she said Also this feature might be of interest |

In Will Young's Let It Go video, he dances with a male manequin. Switch it On and All Time Love also have references if you look for them.

Mariah's (quite awful) video for 'I Want To Know What Love Is' depicts a gay couple:

Scissor Sister videos seem quite homoerotic, especially Filthy/Gorgeous

I think American Pie by Madonna has at least one homosexual couple depicted; I'm sure there some others in her back-catalogue from the late 80s that have homosexual representations (probably for shock value more than anything else).
There's also he interpretation that Britney is going in for a kiss at the end of the 'Me Against The Music' video before madonna disappears. |

After having a look, I remember Sigur Ros doing a video for the song Viorar Vel Til Loftarasa. Features two young boys who fall for each other but need to keep it secret. The ending is particularly emotional when they get found out and ripped apart by angry families. Oh, and then the imagery of a Holy Bible (I guess that's something you could include in your study!)

In Lady Gaga's video for Love Game she kisses a woman dressed up as a police officer.
Can't think of anymore which haven't already been mentioned. |
