Gothic LGBTQ Allies Mark Awareness Day

22/05/2021

On Saturday 22nd May, it is World Goth Day.  http://worldgothday.com/index.html.  An important cultural and aesthetic movement since the Romance period of the eighteenth century, goths today are usually associated with music, dress and philosophy.  Goths (alongside punks, metallers and other subcultural groups) are attacked and harassed by repressive state authorities in many countries such as Poland, Belarus and Russia.  In England, a 20 year old goth woman called Sophie Lancaster was murdered for her appearance by a gang of youths in 2007.  Her family created a charity to campaign for awareness and tolerance of subcultural groups.
