The Black Gay Men's Advisory Group is an LGBT rights organisation of African-descended gay or bisexual men founded in 2003 in the United Kingdom. The group was founded to advise health workers and organisations but activities expanded to a variety of "life chances" and related services.
BGMAG was one of the principal groups involved in the Stop Murder Music campaign,[1] for which it was awarded a Gay & Lesbian Award in 2007, and accepted the Best Advocacy Award at the Black LGBT Community Awards gala on behalf of the Stop Murder Music campaign.[2][3] Chair Dennis Carney, of Jamaican descent, was a principal negotiator of the Reggae Compassionate Act with artists Beenie Man, Sizzla, and Capleton.[citation needed]
BGMA supported the Stop Murder Music campaign against certain artists at the Mobo Awards, with Carney arguing that, "we reject the notion that homophobia is integral to black culture."[4][5]
