The LA-based artist, who claims to have been a "young feminist" on her website and contributed song "Quality of Mercy" to the Dead Man Walking soundtrack in 1995, joined the West Angeles Church of God in the Nineties, according to Queerty. A few folks tweeted from the show last night, including Matt Penfield, who called it full-blown "hate speech."
That was fuck-ing cra-zy! I was tweeting Michelle Shocked's set onstage (for her). All cool. 2nd set, she got up went full hate speech.

@jameshinckley2 Totally sincere. Super anti-gay and hateful.

@warrenellis @queerty @mshocked Music was good. Hate speech was excruciating. 2nd set became a hostage situation—luckily we could all leave

Shocked alluded to the incident with this tweet last night.
Truth is leading to painful confrontation #shortsharpshocked
