Singer Michelle Shocked lived up to her name over the weekend when she went on what some perceived to be an anti-gay rant at a performance in San Francisco.
As Yahoo! Music reports, the folk-rock artist told the crowd gathered at her show on Sunday that they could "go on Twitter and say, 'Michelle Shocked says God hates f**s."

Got it.
10 out of 11 shows cancelled. Maybe she's trying to get the gigs back.
(btw in the past she has said things like "I'd rather make $3,000 a year because I wouldn't then have to pay taxes only to have the money go to bombing South America."
Who is this person?
>>Michelle Shocked is responding to the flood of criticism she sparked earlier this week with what’s been described as her anti-gay tirade during a recent performance in San Francisco, saying she does not oppose gay marriage.
During her concert on Sunday, audience members reported that she said, “When they stop Prop 8 and force priests at gunpoint to marry guys, it will be the downfall of civilization and Jesus will come back.” She subsequently told the crowd “You can go on Twitter and say ‘Michelle Shocked says God hates [epithet for gays].”
It was on Twitter that Shocked’s response to the episode has been unfolding.
To a fan’s question of “What are you up to?” on her Twitter account, Shocked replied, “Just my usual troublemaking, at the expense of dear friends who trust me, even when I appear to be gay-bashing.”
She also tweeted, “I’m neither against a woman's right to choose nor gay marriage. Am a fundamentalist tho.”
Other fans ventured the idea that Shocked, who has been known for provocative statements and actions previously, had been intentionally ironic with her comments.
Absolutely no idea who this person is. Don’t care.
As publicity stunts go, it was a cunning stunt.
Michelle Shocked tried to get some publicity and has done an excellent job of doing so.
So she is claiming someone other then herself hates homosexuals.
That someone being God. So she thinks she speaks for God?
I have to go with not likely!
