The move follows the cancellation of concerts by Buju Banton in Brighton and Beenie Man in Bournemouth following lobbying by local gay activists.
Last year the reggae industry pledged not to let their stars play or release songs advocating anti-gay violence.
But Peter Tatchell of OutRage! said Buju Banton, Beenie Man and Bounty Killer had broken that agreement.
"As far as they are concerned, the truce is over," he said.
"The campaign against them has resumed. We will maintain the truce with the other singers who have stuck by the agreement."
The three artists broke the deal by repeating homophobic songs and views, OutRage! said.
The agreement was between the Stop Murder Music coalition, an umbrella group including OutRage!, the Black Gay Men's Advisory Group and Jamaican movement J-Flag, and major dancehall reggae record labels and concert promoters covering eight of the scene's leading stars.
