Imagine walking down the street one evening with your significant other when suddenly you're attacked by a group of teens. They beat your partner and than you so harsh that paramedics not only have to take you to the hospital but have to look for use ID to tell the two of you apart. This is what happened on August 11th, 2007 in Lancashire, England to a young woman named Sophie Lancaster and her boyfriend Rob Maltby. What was their crime? Nothing other than being goth. Simply because they dressed differently from everyone else they were attacted and Sophie later died from her injuries. Sadly Sophie was not and is not an isolated case, but is did spark a movement to raise awearness and fight to end these hate crimes.

Being different will cause some to look at you harshly or avoid looking at you or make some rather rude comments. I’ve accepted that myself. I’m lucky as I grew up with very supportive people around me but a few comments have been made towards me. However to physically attack some because of how they dress is very much crossing the damn line. Whether you're alternative or not, what happened to this poor girl is something that should never be allowed or tolerated. So please help to stamp out prejudice hatred & intolerance everywhere.

Below is a link to a calander you can buy to help support the Sophie Lancaster foundation in their fight. 100% of the money will go to the foundation. Here are videos of many in the gothic subculture sharing their experiences and helping to raise awearness. I've also included a documentary of what happened to Sophie is you wish to see it.
