http://www.starpulse.com/news/index.php/2013/03/20/concert_promoters_cancel_michelle_shoc

"Several of singer Michelle Shocked's tour dates have been canceled as a direct result of her homophobic remarks at a concert in San Francisco, Calif., on Sunday night.

Ten of the 11 gigs she had scheduled for the remainder of March through April have been axed after the born-again Christian slammed gay marriage at Yoshi's, according to Billboard.com.

Shocked reportedly said during the gig: "When they stop Prop 8 (law outlawing same sex marriage in California) and force priests at gunpoint to marry gays, it will be the downfall of civilisation, and Jesus will come back... You can go on Twitter and say, 'Michelle Shocked says God hates f**s'."

Yoshi's execs immediately pulled the plug on her show after her outburst, and management has promised not to allow her to play there again.

Following the incident management posted on Twitter: "We at Yoshi's SF do not & will not ever tolerate the type of bigotry & hatred exhibited last night by @MShocked. She will never be back."

Since her tirade, 10 additional venues have pulled the singer from their schedules, including the organizers of the Telluride Bluegrass Festival in Colorado. She was billed to perform on June 23."

Wow...my question is why?

Was this a ploy for attention or a cry for help?

Yeah, she`s got 1st Amendment rights yada yada...save it. We've heard it before.

I'm surprised that she still has a career at this late stage: perhaps she's fed up of making a living as a third rate Nanci Griffith impersonator and that's why she's throwing tantrums onstage?

In show business, you don't insult key demographics of the town you're performing in.
What she did made as much sense as an anti gun rant in Houston.

"Accept" eh I'll let that go we all make spelling mistakes but just in case it's except. Let's see I'm pro-gay marriage, pro-gay adoption, pro-choice (abortion, baby murder), pro-gun, pro-free market, fiscal conservative, anti-union in the face of our current labor laws (in the past they were very valuable), so I'm more a libertarian than a "conservative" but lib-progs lump libertarians, preppers, conservatives into the same bunch.

And it's show business, white women can make jokes about fucking black guys and hispanics (Lisa Lampanelli *** spelling), black comedians can make jokes about virtually anyone because it's "racist" to hold them to the same standard as white people. The blue collar tour can make jokes about being homophobic and how it's ridiculous but they can't make jokes about gays but Carlos Mencia can.

So I recant, white men can't make jokes about blacks, jews, or gays unless it is self-deprecating. White heterosexuals can't make jokes about homosexuals that insult their orientation or say that God hates them. Whites can not say certain words or they are accused of being a racist (granted those words were commonly used by racists so go figure).

I don't cry about being discriminated against. It's just reality. Discrimination is everywhere get the fuck over it and get on with it like so many generations before that bred Jackie Robinson, the Tuskageegee (*** spelling) Airmen, Obama, Italians, Irish, Jews, women, homosexuals, etc.. Now the time of white successful people being discriminated against is here, and we will overcome, we will overcome.

After this, she'll probably get offered a contract to be a regular guest on Pat Robertson's The 700 Club and Fox And Friends.

Priests being forced to marry anybody at gunpoint isn't a good sign for civilization. Of course, that has nothing to do with the gay marriage debate, and I don't know of any person who advocates that.

She has First Amendment rights, so she can't be fined or thrown in jail, which is good. I also have no problem with the venues dropping her. Free speech rights don't mean that a person can say anything without fear of consequences. Those are natural consequences to speech of that sort.

And it may turn out better for her (from her perspective) than she was before, anyway. If what everybody's saying about her career is true, then she didn't have much further down she could have gone. Now she's got some national attention, her name is in front of people again...she may become a spokesperson of sorts for the extreme religious right.

Another anti gay marriage celeb is catching heat. Not only with the DC Comics story above, but there's talk of a boycott of the upcoming movie version of his popular Ender's Game.

Status: offline 		It is always good news when an ignorant bigot gets slapped down. To spend your life hating another group of people seems like such a waste. It's just a shame that those who can see the ignorance in this type of hate totally ignore it when it is being used against political targets. Going on rants against all liberals or all conservatives is just as hateful as the bitch in the op, but somehow that kind of behavior seems to get a pass on here.

That's stretching the point a bit: O'Connor was quite a big deal when she threw her anti Pope tantrum on the telly, whereas Shocked wasn't even that big a deal when she was having her fifteen minutes back in 1988...
