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.
		Mobo awards marred by anti-gay violence Outrage! News Service October 2, 2002 Original link for this article: LINK A screaming homophobic mob attacked Peter Tatchell and threatened to kill other members of the gay rights group OutRage! outside the MOBO (Music Of Black Origin) Awards Ceremony at the London Arena from 6pm tonight, Tuesday 1 October 2002. Yelling “Kill the batty boys” and “Kill chi chi men” (Jamaican slang abuse for queer), 25 mostly black teenage music fans kicked, punched, spat on and hurled beer cans, coins and cigarette lighters at Tatchell after he held up a placard with the words “MOBO rewards anti-gay hate”. The placard referred to the fact that reggae stars Elephant Man, TOK and Capleton had been nominated as ‘Best Reggae Act’ at the MOBO Awards - despite their history of violent homophobic lyrics that advocate the murder of gay people. Other members of OutRage! displayed placards emblazoned with the slogans: “Black singers! Stop bashing gays!” and “MOBO = Music Of Bigoted Origin”. They were also subjected to homophobic abuse and threatened with assault. Fearing further attacks from a crowd of 250 black music fans, OutRage! were forced to abandon their peaceful protest and had to be escorted out of the area by police. “The collective homophobic hysteria was absolutely terrifying,” said Mr Tatchell. “It was like what white racists did to the black civil rights marchers in the Deep South during the 1960s. For a moment, I was in fear of my life. The hatred in those young people's eyes was frightening. Some of them looked like they would kill me if they had the chance.” “It is time more black community leaders spoke out louder against the violent homophobic attitudes of sections of black youth. Their silence means that anti-gay hatred in the black community often passes unchallenged. The prime victims are black lesbians and gay men.” Mobo organisers condemned for “rewarding bigotry” Singers urging “kill gays” win nomination as ‘Best Reggae Act’ OutRage! believes that the MOBO nominations of Elephant Man, TOK and Capleton, is tantamount to rewarding bigotry. “It is the moral equivalent of the Brit Awards nominating a racist entertainer who incites the killing of black people”, said Peter Tatchell, a spokesperson for the group.“I urge black community leaders to speak out against artists who incite homophobic hatred and violence. It is appalling for members of one minority to attack members of another minority. We should stand together united against all forms of prejudice and discrimination. “These vocal bigots are fuelling anti-gay hatred and queer-bashing violence,” he addedEven if these singers are not being nominated for homophobic tracks, OutRage! is concerned that their nomination signals that the MOBO organisers believe anti-gay performers are acceptable in black music. Perhaps partly because of OutRage!’s campaign or the gay sympathies of most MOBO voters, none of the three homophobic singers won a MOBO Award. In their category, ‘Best Reggae Act’, the winner was Sean Paul.
