im signin venus.......
funkyD xx:P
I have signed up on this Venus. What Sophie and her partner went through was a horrific thing to happen just because they dressed differently. What is the world coming to ffs. Love A x
show me the dotted line, please tell me where do i sign..
Not allowed to put email addys in the forums but if you mail me and its ok with admin and the moderators I don't mind mailing the address to people as the more people that sign this petition thats going to No 10 Downing Street the better after all we're all classed as "different" in "normal" society cause people don't understand why we swing - why should we stand back and let a young woman be kicked to death (her injuries were much more horrendous than that but its pointless upsetting people with the extent of her injuries - much better to sign the petition) just for dressing as a goth!
Too true TrueScorp - this is what the petition is about (see below) so if you agree that people should be punished if they attack for no reason other than that the person they are attacking is "different" let me know and I'll give you the link. Love A x
Most gothic/subcultural people regularly complain of being harrassed, abused, spat on or attacked for the way they look, having done or said nothing to otherwise provoke this. People who prefer ‘darker’ fashions; who sport facial piercings, alternative makeup or dyed hair regularly experience being singled out on these grounds, by the less tolerant. When this escalates to physical attack and, in this instance, death of an innocent person, it is clearly unnacceptable.
According to the home office, the definitions of ‘Hate Crime’ include race, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation and disability. We feel this list should also include: “On the basis of personal appearance or subcultureâ€.

Hi Venus...
I googled the petition and found it. It wasn't hard to find...just get out and do it as deadline is 28th March. I got an official link emailed to me then my name got put on list.
[color="green"]Hi All -- I'm signed up as well.
All abuse is wrong and should be challenged.
I know a little about what it's like to be on the receiving end of that kind of stuff and it's both demeaning and devaluing - and frightening - at the very least.
Googling with these key words worked for me:
"petitions pm gov Prime Minister"..
It is a worthwhile petition and I hope lots of people sign it. (Now about 3750 votes)
However it is sad to note that on the same page is a petition to keep the 'Ancient History A Level' - which currently has more votes (5100) -- and staggeringly a petition to have Jeremy Clarkson as PM has attracted 47500 votes ....
Much of society has some odd values I reckon.
Stay safe xx[/color]
Good one Tall John I hadn't thought of putting a clue in the forum (Duh) if anyone hasn't worked it out though or can't find it please let me know and I'll mail you
Love A x
