DescriptionShocked may be an understatement.

Grammy-nominated folk singer Michelle Shocked took a San Francisco audience by surprise Sunday night, launching into a fire-and-brimstone rant about same-sex marriage and California’s Proposition 8 during her second set.

“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,” a visibly agitated Shocked told the crowd at Yoshi’s, the majority of whom walked out of the concert.

Shocked, who had long been a lefty but converted to born-again Christianity in the 1990s, seemed to have planned her oratory beforehand.

“You are going to leave here and tell people, 'Michelle Shocked said God hates f-----s,’” Shocked said, according to several audience members.

Shocked told the crowd to use social media to promote Proposition 8, the voter initiative that banned gay marriage in California, and went on to deliver Bible verses in Spanish and English.
