What the hell? I always assumed she was an out and proud lesbian. Well, anyway, fuck her.

Michelle Shocked clears o...gay tirade

Last night, Michelle Shocked, who had several hits in the 80s and 90s as an alternative folk musician, delivered a bigoted message against LGBT people at the popular club Yoshi's in San Francisco. According to live tweets from the event, she went on quite the hate rant and invited the audience to share her thoughts on Twitter.

”You can go on Twitter and say ‘Michelle Shocked says God hates fags.’”

Another audience member, @lisahubbert said, “wow, she’s a total bigot and said so on stage. It was unreal. We had to leave. I am so disappointed.”

@anile02 who was also there offered this: “She said she lives in fear that the world will be destroyed if gays are allowed to marry.”

According to reports the audience was clearly angry and left en masse. At first some thought it had to be some sort of bad joke, but as she went on, it became clear that she was being completely sincere in expressing her hate for teh gay.

Shocked, whose real name is Karen Jonston, has been the subject of media speculation about her own sexuality for years. Perhaps this entire evening was designed to set the record straight, so to speak.

Raised Mormon, Shocked joined the West Angeles Church of God in the 1990s and has been cagey about LGBT issues in recent years, even though she had been frequently identified as a lesbian in the press. (A misidentification, Shocked claims.)

“I am a believer. I am a devout practicing Christian,” she told Edge on the Net in 2008. “I don’t like the ring of that because I know so many people who profess the faith, and I look at their social conscious, and I can’t see how they reconcile their faith with their politics.”

I think it is safe to assume that she has effectively soiled herself to the point of only attracting folks from Westboro Baptist Church, NOM and the Family Research Council to future concerts. Hey Michelle, don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out.

Yeah she's gotten really into religion. She spoke a bit about it when she played a show in NYC a couple of years ago. She has been married for more than 5 years. I also thought she was a lesbian In the beginning. She Is very talented. Too bad about that recent event.

Who?

Exactly!

And, who cares who she is.

A shame that folks allow self-righteousness, hatred and bitterness to take hold in their heart under the guise of religion. It's not healthy for them. Sad, sad, sad. Religion has the capacity to poison.

Wait, for reals ??????????????? Is somebody paying her to say these things ? Cuz i know for damn well, she ain't sticking no d**k in her mouth(unless, it's her girlfriends strap on). The hell ? Take a seat, Michelle.

Short Sharp Shocked is the only album i ever heard from her and i liked it!

It's to bad she is acting like this cause not to offend anyone here but her look is 102% dyke with a margin of error.

She, Tracy Chapman & Linda Perry all probably used to spoon together

I am familiar with her but not a fan, Suzanne Vega, Tracy Chapman and K.D. Lang were the " IT " women around the time she debuted. This is as much publicity as she has ever recieved in her career, a dumb stunt all around.

True i guess that was 1992? had a brain freeze and was thinking they came out in 1990 but Tracy and K.D were still doing their thing at the time in 1992.

^Yeah. '92/'93.... the others broke through '88/'89.

Prince wishes he could do this on stage w/ Larry. Preaching to us the sins of mankind! The abominations!

Gay and gay supporting artists are typically more talented than bigots

They're also much better looking than bigots.

''In a 2008 interview with the Dallas Voice, Shocked strongly denied rumours that she is a lesbian. "[But] what if we called you an 'honorary lesbian'?" asked the interviewer. "I would be honoured," she replied. Describing herself as a "devout practising Christian", she said she was still coming to terms with "bigotry" in the church. "According to my Bible, which I didn't write, homosexuality is immoral," she explained. "But homosexuality is no more less a sin than fornication. And I'm a fornicator with a capital F."''

This hoe what happened between then? from being happy to be an honorary lesbian to pure hate must have gotten some stanky kitty cat.

it's tempting to say that this is a career-ending mistake on her part,but she doesn't seem to have a career anyway. I can't even name *one* of her hit singles!

Having a hit doesn't really have anything to do with a career. There's many blues, folk, classical, soul, gospel, bluegrass, polka, etc. acts with no radio play or hits that had longer careers than acts with them.

Sizzla Kalonji says suck out!

As for this Michelle woman, what a stupid woman she is. What makes her say God hates the homosexual?

She has recently been diagnosed with paranoid schizophenia and is in treatment. So I don' think she well yet.

Artists like him come from a very homophobic culture/society so I as much as I cannot stand their point of view having spent some time in a country like that I can somehow get why they think the way they do. And I very much hope that the society in these countries will change regarding these issues.

Michelle Shocked apparently turned into that hateful woman now being born again and it's a damn shame .

Isn't her way of thinking pretty typical for most "hard-core" religious people, especially the ones who are in denial about their own homosexuality/have problems dealing with it/are fighting against their feelings ?

The Captain will now boycott all future Michelle Shocked CDs as soon as he can figure out who the hell she is.

Interesting. Either she's suffering from her schizophenia or she's scared to come out
