The OutRage! website seems to be closed definitively for unknown reasons. While doing my research, it was sometimes opperative but most of the time it was not in function. Maybe the work of hackers or simply a condition to the February 2005 deal reached within the dancehall industry and gay organisations. In any cases, this is the way the text originally appered on their webpage.
		Janet Jackson records with advocate of death penalty for gays Outrage! News Service August 27, 2002 Original link for this article: LINK American superstar Janet Jackson’s new single out on 9 September features a duet with controversial Jamaican DJ Beenie Man, who promotes the execution and murder of gay men and lesbians in Jamaica. Jackson, who recently deflected speculation about her sexuality saying: "I don't mind people thinking that I'm gay or calling me gay. People are going to believe whatever they want. I love people regardless of sexual preference" has a large gay following in the UK, many of whom will be unaware of her new musical partner’s back-catalogue of homophobic hate-speech. The single "Feel It Boy" will appear on Beenie Man’s forthcoming album for Virgin Records “Tropical Storm” which also features a guest appearance by UK act So Solid Crew. Beenie Man begins his song ‘Damn’ with the line “I'm dreaming of a new Jamaica, come to execute all the gays”. In other songs, like his recent hit ‘Bad Man Chi Chi Man’ he instructs his listeners – if they see a gay DJ – to chase him off stage and kill them. Beenie Man won a Grammy for his previous album, which included lyrics in which he boasted that he’d shoot and kill homosexuals for free. Still, the recording industry seems to reward rather than discourage his extreme views while more mainstream artists, such as Wyclef Jean and Lil Kim join the queue to work with him. BBC Promotes Hate Speech Beenie Man is just one of a new crop of antigay artists from Jamaica whose musical hate-speech is being promoted in the UK via the BBC’s new digital radio channel 1Xtra. BBC DJ Chris Goldfinger features a song on his personal top-10 chart by ‘Capleton’ which has a chorus telling people to set gay men on fire. Elsewhere on the BBC site, we were able to download a clip of an Elephant Man song which gives instruction on a new dance which is created when you set fire to a gay person and stamp on them while they’re lying on the ground in flames. Last year the band TOK occupied the Number 1 slot on Goldfinger's chart with an antigay song called "Chi Chi Man" which said "Light a fire, let's burn them... let's go kill them". (Blaze di fire mek we bun dem... Blaze di fire mek we dun dem!!) “We are appalled that the BBC, a public-funded broadcaster, could be distributing music with this content. It is more than hate-speech, it is a clear incitement to violence and murder” said Brett Lock, a spokesperson for OutRage! This is not the first time the BBC has been at the centre of a row over antigay hate-speech by Jamaican artists. BBC Radio London Live was the main sponsor of Buju Banton’s performance at the Festival of Peace and Love in London in July 2000. Banton was notorious for writing and performing the song “Boom Bye Bye” which glorifies the shooting of gay men, urging people to get a gun and blow out the brains of a "batty boy", Subsequently he has said that gays should be treated like discarded tyres and burned. Julius Powell from J-FLAG, a Jamaican civil rights group warns that while the music may be commercially successful abroad, the consequences for Jamaican gays and lesbians are severe. Powell says: “Producers in the US need to know that despite the fact that this thing sells, this thing kills also in Jamaica - it sells in the United States but it kills in Jamaica and that’s what’s happen down there!” OutRage! calls for Boycott and Apology from Jackson and BBC OutRage! calls for a consumer boycott of Janet Jackson and an apology from the star for the insult and injury caused by her endorsement of Beenie Man. We also call for an apology from the BBC for promoting and distributing music glamorising the murder of gay and lesbian people.
