It really is sad. I think, the best way to go about this is if you want a peace march, it shouldn't be in favor of goth. It should be in favor of self expression. It should be about not so much goth, but that we are all in our own way different. Everyone is different and unique in some way. It is best to promote tolorance for people's personal choices on their own image. This goes for any sort of "out of the norm" types. Goths are not the only ones who suffer these sorts of incidents.
If you must march, march in the name of peace, understanding, diversity, and tolorance. Not for goth. But be proud of who you are. Always do your best to be you no matter what kind of lifestyle you choose to live. If we must fight, fight with compassion, fight with understanding. Never yeild to anyone else of who you are. So long as you always compromise yourself for others, you'll never get any respect. Yes, this WILL cause conflict, but fight back with reason, fight back with understanding. Yes, I'm a goth, but I wont march for everyone to be peaceful to goths, but I will march in the name of tolorance and understanding.
