Boulder radio show eTown on Monday canceled a Michelle Shocked concert planned in May because the singer reportedly made anti-gay remarks at a concert in San Francisco on Sunday night.

The radio show announced the cancellation on its Facebook page.

"From the very beginning, our goal as an organization has been to foster a spirit of community and inclusiveness in all that we do -- whether it's a radio taping, special event, concert or social cause we support," according to the Facebook announcement.

Of the more than 90 comments on the cancellation, almost all supported eTown's decision.

Anyone who had purchased tickets for the show can receive a full refund by calling the eTown Hall box office at 303-443-8696. ___
