Outrage
OutRage!
OutRage! is a direct action campaigning group in the
United Kingdom which was formed to fight for what they saw as the rights of
lesbian,
gay and
bisexual people. It is a radical group which has frequently been criticised for being extremist; members have been arrested on some OutRage! actions. For a time in the mid-1990s, some OutRage! actions were perceived as being a version of
outing, where gay activists assert the alleged private homosexuality of public figures as part of a political campaign.
