I'd think so. In the UK a discrimination bill was passed which covers religious beliefs, race, nationality, sexual orientation (LGB)... the usual suspects in other words. However, around the time a female teenager was savagely beaten to death by a group of people purely because she was a goth and dared to be walking home with her boyfriend. Some alternative press such as Bizarre Magazine ran campaigns to have discrimination based on physical appearance to be included in the bill but politicians and much of the public at large would have none of it. Obviously the rights of anyone who looks different are of no concern to many, including groups who are discriminated against themselves, who should really know better. Instead of the unusual united grouping that saw religious people supporting gays and the like, people of alternative appearance were shunned.Images said:I would be quite interested if furry rights are being oppressed!
I'd stake money on nearly every single person who looks different from society's norm (not just goths, but furries, hippys, transvestites, whomever) knows someone who has been abused emotionally or physically due to their appearance. Why is it that the legal system is not representing these groups equally? Things need to change.
