We have had first hand knowledge of the prejudice of the so called "normal" person in the street. My kids, both grown now, are Goths. Peaceful, gentle, pacifists...kind people...who dress differently to the "norm".

They have been spat at...shouted at...and generally abused because of the way they dress.

They are "normal" in the same way as their mum and dad are "normal"...just different.

I look forward to the day that people can accept others for what they are. I think I will be waiting a while though.
