Yesterday was the first I've heard of this from Stripy Tights and Dark Delights. I have to say, I'm both shocked (maybe not that much), and disappointed that people would actually agree to give a grant for Anti-Goths. I mean, how are they suppose to battle goth? Break out the US military, and try to 'kill' it off, like a giant, rampaging monster?
This baffles me, really! To ask the US government for money to combat a harmless subculture, or even the idea of goth, is just silly. It would be like asking the government for a loan to combat against Trekkies (a fan of Star Trek). It can't be done!
One good thing did come out of this though. Now instead of battling goth, the people of Blue Springs are aiming towards goth acceptance (better late than never). I really hope it works out for them, and maybe change a few minds about the negativity that surrounds goth sometimes.
