"The funeral of a 20-year-old woman who died following an attack in a Lancashire park is to take place later. Sophie Lancaster was walking with her boyfriend in Stubby Lee Park in Bacup when they were attacked on 11 August. Her family have said they want as many people as possible to attend as part of their campaign to stamp out prejudice. Miss Lancaster and her boyfriend had earlier been targeted for dressing as Goths. The service is at the Riverside Centre in Whitworth at 1100 GMT. Mourners will be asked to write farewell messages on her white casket while her favourite music is played."

Nice Blog :)
2 people got killed because of how they looked.What is this world coming to if people can not express themselves without the fear of reprisals on the street in broad daylight by the younger and sometimes older generation??It disgusts me that the younger generation seem to be less tolerant of others than the older generations Why?May be because we fear the reprisals of challenging??Words for thought ay???
