Recently, the Sophie Lancaster Foundation managed to get a law set in Manchester, where hate and abuse aimed at the 'goth/emo/punk/etc' subcultures is officially a crime.
My aim is to get this law more widespread, to the rest of the UK. It'd mean so much if you could take a few seconds to sign it. With your help, people can be free to dress how they want.
Thankyou.
I have been reading through the comments all morning and honestly the stories people are sharing about being targeted just for the way they look are breaking my heart. It feels like we are finally pulling these experiences out of the shadows and honestly that is the whole point of this entire effort even if the process is moving slowly.

This should have been done years ago. Nobody should be scared to walk down the street because of their clothes.

HELL YES. Stop the hate. Being goth isnt a crime but attacking people for it definitely is.

Too many people get picked on just for how they look. It shouldnt matter if you dress goth or whatever. Everyone deserves to be safe.
