Beenie Man U.S. tour sparks Outrage!
Jamaican singer and homophobe Beenie Man is about to embark on a U.S. tour and British gay rights group OutRage! is helping coordinate a worldwide "Stop Murder Music" campaign urging U.S. gay and human-rights groups to "press for cancellation of Beenie Man's concerts on the grounds that he incites the murder of gays and lesbians, and that his performance may lead to public disorder and to homophobic hate crimes." His lyrics do call for "executing" all queers and he urges listeners to kill gay DJs. Peter Tatchell of Outrage! comments, "No one would give a platform to a singer who advocated killing Black or Jewish people."
