I need your help please ! I have been looking for the name of this band for years. They sung a song named Runaway which dealed with homosexuality. they made a video for this song in which a young man runs away from home because his parents don't accept his homosexuality if my memory serves me correctly. Please help me as I have been looking desperately for years and it's impossible to find nowadays as I don't believe it was a very big hit. Any ideas would be very appreciated ! Thanks in advance!

I think the song could be Smalltown Boy by Bronski Beat, one of my favourite 80's bands.
The hook line in the lyrics was 'run away, turn away'
They had a couple of other big hits here in the UK with 'Why' and 'I feel love' but disbanded after a couple of years when the lead singer, Jimmy Somerville went on to form The Communards - who had a hit with 'dont leave me this way'.
