Most know I've refrained from diving into politics on Facebook and on the
message board for some time now. On Twitter, however, it's a different
story. For months I and a small but dedicated group of people have
successfully led boycotts against clubs or venues that book a musician
named Michelle Shocked who continues to post ant-gay and racist insults on
Twitter and elsewhere. Back in March, she notoriously ordered her San
Francisco audience to Tweet that "God hates f*ggots." For those of you with
Twitter, if you would please RT/share the following post on your Twitter
feeds; one club owner remains entirely willfully ignorant of Shocked's
eight months of gaybashing and bigoted language. I'm hoping they eventually
do the right thing. So if you have a Twitter, please RT the linked Tweet.
If you live in the UK, please call these people and tell them they are
better than this, and the negative publicity they are receiving will
disprove the notion that there's no such thing as bad press. From what I
can tell, the club owners remember who Shocked used to be before she became
a hateful born again Christian, and they have very arrogantly refused to
educate themselves on what she's been up to lately. Please help me to
convince the club to reconsider supporting a gaybashing bigot.

For those who are fortunate enough to be unaware of who Michelle Shocked is
and why I find her so heinous, here's a website that archives the bulk of
her online hate speech (she even disparaged #Batkid a few weeks ago... who
the f*ck picks on a sick kid?).
