Reptar Have a New Video Featuring the First Ever Gay Icon

He was a saint, a martyr and also black.

The folks over at Noisey present this lovely new video from psychedelic art-poppers (not-the-ones-you-huff-up-your-nose) Reptar, for their song "Sebastian". The video was directed by Deadhorse, Ben Fries and Jesse Cain, and contains a surreal mixture of living tableaux depicting the story of Saint Sebastian. Sebastian, a Christian saint and martyr, is the earliest known gay icon. He was famously tied to a tree and shot with arrows for criticising the Emperor :(

However, this video's great, so watch it in the player above, at Noisey.com or on the Noisey YouTube Channel. Enjoy.
