Michelle Shocked
Punk folk-rocker Michelle Shocked, a onetime gay icon turned born-again Christian, shocked a crowd in San Francisco on March 17, 2013, when she cited Old Testament verses condemning homosexuality and told the crowd she hoped California's Proposition 8, banning gay marriage, would be upheld. “I live in fear that the world will be destroyed if gays are allowed to marry,” Shocked said, then added, "“You can go on Twitter and say ‘Michelle Shocked says God hates f–s.” Most of the audience walked out on the performance, and when Shocked persisted in playing, the manager pulled the plug on her microphone. At least four dates on the tour were canceled following the incident.
