“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,”
I am not quite sure that God has condoned gay marriage in New York, Iowa, Washington State, Washington DC, Minnesota, Maryland, Massachusetts, Maine, Vermont and Connecticut as well as Canada, Argentina and a dozen or so other countries and is now waiting for the California Prop. 8 case to be resolved by the SCOTUS to bring about the downfall of civilization.
>>>>Michelle Shocked is responding to the flood of criticism she sparked earlier this week with what’s been described as her anti-gay tirade during a recent performance in San Francisco, saying she does not oppose gay marriage.
During her concert on Sunday, audience members reported that she said, “When they stop Prop 8 and force priests at gunpoint to marry guys, it will be the downfall of civilization and Jesus will come back.” She subsequently told the crowd “You can go on Twitter and say ‘Michelle Shocked says God hates [epithet for gays].”
It was on Twitter that Shocked’s response to the episode has been unfolding.
To a fan’s question of “What are you up to?” on her Twitter account, Shocked replied, “Just my usual troublemaking, at the expense of dear friends who trust me, even when I appear to be gay-bashing.”
She also tweeted, “I’m neither against a woman's right to choose nor gay marriage. Am a fundamentalist tho.”
