Shocked originally planned to show up at the location of her first post-rant canceled performance. She changed her mind at the last minute and instead performed at an L.A.-based homeless shelter with a bunch of people from her church. From what I understand, it was quite a good performance for those who heard her.
Shocked ended up showing up at the location of another canceled event last night -- this time at Moe's Alley in Santa Cruz, CA. She played guitar outside the business surrounded by a bunch of protest signs. She was wearing a strange costume and had her mouth taped shut. The tape across her mouth read "Silenced By Fear." She apparently invited others to use a Sharpie marker to write messages on her outfit, though I have no idea if anyone took her up on the offer.
I''ve embedded a couple videos of the protest. The first video shows the content of the signs and the second video shows her struggling to communicate with someone at Moe's Alley:
The sad part is that Michelle Shocked really brought all of this on herself. She admittedly said some things that upset her fans, who then spread what they'd heard and witnessed across the Internet. Instead of attempting to explain or de-escalate the situation, she chose to accuse people of accepting second-hand information and not hearing her perspective -- which she refused to offer outside of this "Truth VS. Reality" meme. She attacked people for listening to a "bootleg" audio recording of her now infamous gay marriage/"Michelle Shocked says that God hates faggots" rant instead of trying to clarify. She accepted at least one interview with someone who considered herself a fan and a professional acquaintance and then refused to participate because it was a webcast show instead of an actual radio program.
I know that Michelle Shocked has a point that she's trying to prove, but she's doing a terrible job of helping people to understand. Hopefully someday she will allow someone close to her -- her partner, a friend, a fellow church member, a professional P.R. spinner -- figure out how to communicate her message effectively. Until then, I predict that she will be doing many more silent protests in the future.
