The vio, directed by Brendan Canty, follows the relatnship between two gay men and the vlent homophobic backlash that ensu when the muny learns of one of the men’s sexualy. Some vigilante groups are forcg gay men to drk ure, others scribe their missn as a safari of huntg pedophil and gays, while others are lurg gay people to bully and torture explas the song:It’s about humany at s most natural, and I gus the song is very much about sexualy, about the sexual act self.

Rather, clud the peaceful but clear disapproval of homosexualy.

Directed by Brendan Canty of Feel Good Lost, Hozier says the vio “referenc the recent crease of anised attacks and torturg of homosexuals Rsia, which is subsequent to a long, hateful, and opprsive polil mpaign agast the LGBT muny. David Knight - 15th Nov 2013Brendan Canty has created a grippg, harrowg drama, about two gay men targeted by a homophobic gang, for Hozier's passnate Take Me To The 's set the Irish untrysi, and shots the vio of gay Rsians monstratg agast Put's homophobic legislatn on TV unrle the polil as well as personal dimensn of the story. This is a world where anti-gay thugs n act wh impuny – and that leads to a terrifyg suatn for one of the men.

IS HOZIER GAY? IRISH SGER’S ‘TAKE ME TO CHURCH’ LEADS SOME TO MAKE ASSUMPTNS ABOUT HIS SEXUALY

E the wispread ostracizatn of homosexuals and the wispread ndong of their torture and murr. IS Hozier Gay?

I’M 43 – BUT I’M MA TO FEEL LIKE A DOSR BY YOUNGER GAY MEN

“It’s people rryg out terrible acts through the jtifitn of far-right tradnalism, and also a long mpaign to make homosexualy equivalent wh thgs like pedophilia and btialy, which is absolutely appallg. While Hozier thks ’s an important subject, ’s not bee he’s gay – he’s said multiple terviews that he’s not – nor is bee there are a lot of people close to him who’ve experienced homophobia.
