From the venue's website: "We had to cancel Michelle Shocked. During a concert the last days in San Francisco she said things like: 'When they stop Prop 8 and force priests at gunpoint to marry gays, it will be the downfall of civilisation' and 'You are going to leave here and tell people, 'Michelle Shocked said God hates faggots.' Personally as well as the managers of a festival with the motto 'Art of Peace' we can not deal with such crap." http://www.burgherzberg-festival.de/index_e.html
