'When they stop Prop 8 and force priests at gunpoint to marry gays, it will be the downfall of civilization and Jesus will come back,' she said.Loud gasps were heard from the audience. Many fans walked out. 'I believe the Bible is the word of God,' Shocked continued....In response to audience reaction, Shocked offered a Spanish prayer that 'God loves you. God loves us. God loves us all everywhere.' Later, in English, she said: 'God bless us everyone.' Many fans questioned the singer out loud: 'What are you saying?' With a broad smile, Shocked said 'You are going to leave here and tell people "Michelle Shocked said God hates faggots."' That comment produced more gasps and more departures. Two-thirds of the audience had walked out by this point."
This could be taken a couple of different ways, but my interpretation is that she was concerned that people would associate her with the Phelps (no relation) bunch, but she was only speaking the same opinion that many fundamental Christians have.........

I have seen quotes that said:
"I live in fear that the world will be distroyed if gays are allowed to marry"
and
"you can go on Twitter and say M S says God hats F**s"
That is a bit different.
Then I read that for YEARS and YEARS she has refused to tell anyone what her own sexual orientation was.... that she has a huge lesbian following, then she shows up in San Fransisco and just gets down right insulting.
She didnt help the cause of Christ. in fact if anything, it was damaging.
It is one thing for people to properly talk about sin, in the setting of a church. It is entirely another to be insulting to people that are lost and in need of salvation.
