Formerly Bi-Sexual Singer Stuns Audience With Alleged Anti-Gay Rant: ‘God Hates Fa***ts’

Mar. 19, 2013 2:38pm Billy Hallowell

Singer-songwriter Michelle Shocked very literally shocked (pun intended) her audience on Sunday after she launched into what critics are calling an anti-gay tirade. The performer, a born-again Christian who was previously labeled bi-sexual, apparently made some intensely-contentious comments.

According to USA Today, she reportedly told the crowd at Yoshi’s SF, “You can go on Twitter and say, ‘Michelle Shocked says God hates [anti-gay slur].’” Another report in the San Francisco Chronicle claims she said, ”God hates fags and you can tweet that I said so.”

But Inquisitr claims Shocked might have gone much further.

“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,” she allegedly said. “You are going to leave here and tell people, ‘Michelle Shocked said God hates fa**ots.’”

This account is somewhat different from the USA Today and San Francisco Chronicle renditions of her commentary.

If the latter transcription is accurate, she was predicting how people might react, rather than telling individuals to take to social media to let the world know how she feels about gays. Either way, her alleged words are certainly offensive to many, especially considering her use of a word that is generally considered off-limits.

Here’s how some Twitter users reacted:

Regardless of what was said, the crowd apparently reacted quickly, with some instantly walking out of the venue. The venue’s owner apparently tried to end the show as well, but Inquisitr claims that Shocked continued to perform. In the end, staff cut the lights and allegedly shut her down.

As a result of the incident, another venue that was planning to host the singer for a May 5 performance has cancelled her show. SPACE Club in Evanston, Ill., took to its Facebook page on Monday to make the following announcement:

Many of you have reached out already following an ugly rant given by Michelle Shocked at her show in San Francisco last night. After speaking with the promoter of that show about the nature of the remarks, it’s clear that this is no longer a show we’re willing to put our name on. The May 5th performance at SPACE has been cancelled and refunds will be issued at point of purchase.

And LBGTQ Nation claims that others have followed this lead, with nearly every other venue joining in on canceling the singer:

Update: As of Tuesday morning, nine of the 11 venues remaining on Shocked’s U.S. tour have cancelled her upcoming performances:

HopMonk’s Tavern in Novato, Calif., SPACE in Evanston, Ill., eTown in Boulder, Colo., the Alberta Rose Theatre in Portland, Ore., Meander’s Kitchen in Seattle, Cozmic in Eugene, Ore., the Palms Playhouse in Winter, Calif., Moe’s Alley in Santa Cruz, Calif., and McCabe’s in Santa Monica, Calif., have all announced or tweeted cancellations.

A Change.org petition is calling on the two remaining venues to follow suit.

So far, no video or audio has been released, so it’s difficult to discern what, exactly, was said. Regardless, Shocked’s alleged rant is making viral rounds.

Before god can hate gay people proof of god is required. And no rational human can provide undeniable proof of that existence.

  Life. Yourself is an example. What are the odds of life existing on planet earth? Oh, but you’d rather believe in spontaneous big bang into nothingness, all known laws of physics violated in the first few seconds, life from non-life, monkeys to humans, and so on. You have more faith in “science” than I do in God. May my faith in God one day reach the infinite height of your faith in nothing.

The word “*******” means a bundle of sticks. Why must we use **’s to bleep out letters? So she said a stupid word. It’s like “******”, it’s JUST A WORD. Stop being afraid and say “here’s the word; it’s derogatory, but she said it”; that’s not insulting to our intelligence.

I can’t tell what she said….did she say God hates f*****s? or did she sayend of days are coming and ‘you…the audience’ will tweet that I said’ God hates f*****s?

One is disturbing… and one is a commentary about people misquoting and twisting her words…

Disagree with the ‘FA***ts’, as they are called here, and they will take up AK47s, murder you, your children, every one of your relatives, your spouse, your teachers, your neighbors, all friends on your facebook page, the Barristers at your Starbucks, the checkout girl at the Vons you frequent, your high school crush, and the guy you sold your last car to.

Unless, of course, you are Muslim — in which case the ‘fa***ts’ (as they are called here) will cower in fear and remain silent, seeking, instead, safety in the nearest bath house.

Gotta love these fonts of hatred and evil!

They twisted what she said. She will be crucified.

We live in a state like SF filled with gay women (Maine). It’s become a Mecca and changed the politics along w/ other lib transplants. They do not like to be crossed. And many are extremely aggressive and predatory. it’s almost like they know no one can say anything–it would be a hate crime. We’re sick of it and moving south.

  “The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. The field is the world, and the good seed is the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one, and the enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. Just as the weeds are gathered and burned with fire, so will it be at the end of the age. The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all law-breakers and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.
  
  Their ‘aggressive and predatory’ behavior will turn to ‘weeping and gnashing of teeth’ unless they repent and turn AWAY from their Sin…

it drives me crazy when people say ‘God hates fa&s’ because God loves everyone, fa&s included. It’s the SIN God hates so if God hates fa&s then He’d hate everyone because we have ALL sinned. Sin in sin no matter what the sin is and God hates sin.

Gay is not a state of being, it is an appetite and appetites do not rise to the level of deserving special rights. The right of others to disapprove of your appetites is not trumped by your right to exercise said appetites. Note I did not say halt your indulging of said appetite, only disapprove. You may exercise your appetites, and others may continue to disapprove without suffering the threat of law. You do not have the right to force others to approve of you, which is what the gays want. Their right to perform perverse sexual acts does not rise to the level of deserving special rights.

  We don’t want nor do we need your approval. We do however demand that our equal rights be respected. Note that I stated “EQUAL:” rights. You cannot call it “special rights” when someone asks for the same rights that you have.

Try reading Ezekiel 18 it is all answered very plainly and leaves no doubt as to what is said or meant.
No matter how you feel about the Bible it is not a bad way to live period and anyone who says it is would be called foolish.

It doesn’t matter the WORDS she used–it’s offensive because she expresses repugnant and unjustified beliefs, carrying harmful consequences in action if accepted, to humanity (unless of course you’ve already bought the appeal to authority hook-line-and-sinker–then when you see something like this, you either (a) just ignore it, or (b) rationalize it away with apologetic gymnastics) and individual humans. Christians have every right to believe their ******* god sorts people into categories of eternal torment and bliss on the basis of arbitrary personal differences–just as I have every right to believe that their beliefs (as such–obviously we probably share more unobjectionable beliefs in common than not, e.g. there is a Sun and it emits light, etc.) are abominable, inflict gratuitous suffering, and are a fetter to human potential.

““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,” she allegedly said. “You are going to leave here and tell people, ‘Michelle Shocked said God hates fa**ots.’””
(1) Allowing the general right to acquire marital contracts and have them enforced is not the same as granting a legal entitlement to have any and every qualified individual required as a matter of law to either (a) be party to a marital contract, or (b) perform a marriage ceremony incidental to a marital contract; the two are severable, and this absurd fatalistic hyperbole conservatives are fond of spreading that “oh, the government will be going into southern Baptist churches and forcing the ecclesiastics to marry queers!” is completely baseless and yet one more on the long, long, LONG list of slippery slope fallacies offered up by the Right as a pathetic excuse for an “argument.”
(2) Even assuming repealing Prop 8 DID lead to (which it wouldn’t–repeal of a law prohibiting marital contracts between members of the same sex does that and ONLY that, repeal a law prohibiting marital contracts between members of the same sex) forced performance of marriages, HOW does that lead to “the downfall of civilization?” Also, IF that, supposedly, leads to “Jesus’ return,” then isn’t that EXACTLY what you want?

Sin in many forms will usher in the second coming of Christ. These sins include: the killing of millions of unborn children; people’s coveting the fruits of the laborer but unwilling to work themselves; licentiousness, as evidenced by Hollywood’s conduct and film industry; the breakdown of the family, homosexuality; and more. What’s interesting is that all of these ills have and are being ushered in by liberals and progressives.

What do they mean “homophobic” rant…..LOL. Didn’t sound as though she was afraid of homosexuals to me. In fact she didn’t even say what they espoused. They took her little ridiculous rant and twisted it to sound like they wanted it to sound like. I think this so called “Media Outlet” is “Normalphobic“. If this would have been a Homosexual saying the same thing about “Normal” people there in LaLa Land, it wouldn’t have even made the news. In fact, they would applauded.

As much as I am against homosexual marriage and their lifestyle, I do not think she should speak for God. Especially in such disparaging ways.

My experience is watch out for Born Agains. They tend to go from one extreme to the other. She sounds like Westboro Baptist material.

Oh yes! The thought police are in truth speak mode……see how people run when you say “a word that is supposed to be off limits”? I am not going to waste my time typing OTHER words that are “off limits” because the censors here would either not publish my comment or black line them…..The ONLY way a word gains power is by fear and ignorance!! Laughter is a great way to kill the power of a word……..I can remember the things said about the previous President and those people were given pulitzer prizes and nobels…….What was done to Prop 8 to me was criminal and there will be a judgement soon enough!!

Go home and enjoy your gay and lesbian lifestyles and let the heterosexuals go home and do the same. She’s got guts. If this is what she believes and she’s willing to live with the financial consequences good for her.
