In August 2007, Sophie Lancaster, a twenty-year-old Goth, was walking through the park with her boyfriend when they were both violently attacked by a group of drunken yobs. Her boyfriend Robert was left terribly injured while she was killed as she tried to protect him, and both were left for dead. They were attacked simply because of the way they looked. Sophie died just because she was a Goth.
The Sophie Lancaster Foundation has created a beautiful short film that illustrates her death and pleads for society to be more tolerant. Nobody should have to die just because of the way they look. Please visit the Sophie Lancaster Foundation to watch this moving, beautiful film and help them spread the word of tolerance and acceptance for all: [link]
