Folk singer Michelle Shocked apparently decided to royally screw up her career by going on an anti-gay rant that ended with her encouraging fans to post the following message on Twitter: "God hates faggots." This rant occurred at a gig at a San Francisco dance club and led to a mass walk-out by her fans. As far as I can tell, there is no video footage of her rant. But witnesses have shared that it had to do with same-sex marriage and how she fears the the world will be destroyed if gays are allowed to marry.

(I guess she failed to noticed that gay and lesbian people have been marrying in pockets of the planet -- through commitment ceremonies, through domestic partnerships & civil unions, and through actual legal marriage -- for well over 20 years. Over 40 years, if you count commitment ceremonies officiated by ministers within the Metropolitan Community Church -- and you should. But I digress...)
Shocked has been silent since last night's rant with the exception of the above tweet; "Truth is leading to painful confrontation #shortsharpshocked."
Performance venues have already begun canceling appearances by Michelle Shocked.
