Rising Hegemon
Singer-songwriter Michelle Shocked has shocked fans after launching an anti-gay rant onstage in San Francisco on Sunday night. The singer – who became a favourite of leftwing music fans with early albums such as The Texas Campfire Tapes and Short Sharp Shocked, but who is now a born-again Christian – began telling the crowd her views of Proposition 8, California's legal definition of marriage being a union between a woman and a man.
"When they stop Prop 8 and force priests at gunpoint to marry gays, it will be the downfall of civilisation, and Jesus will come back," Shocked told the crowd at Yoshi's in San Francisco, before many of them reportedly walked out. "You are going to leave here and tell people, 'Michelle Shocked said God hates faggots.'"
Ugh.

Nothing like shooting one's self in the foot.
This looks like one of the bigger public career flame-outs to have occurred recently, but it's certainly not the first.
Maybe God will get her a double-bill with Creed.
force priests to marry men.....
This is mental illness, pure and simple.
mentally unstable people often find solace in religion.
fame is a bitch.
the religion virus, christian edition, is vociferous in this one...
looks like she's found a new form of "outrage" to "shock" with.

And Michael Richards can supply the comedy.
