Given that she describes herself as a human pet – and is happy to walk around on a lead – Tasha Maltby is used to odd looks and even odder remarks.

But nothing had prepared her for the reaction of the bus driver who allegedly told the self-styled Goth and her boyfriend: "We don't let freaks and dogs like you on."

Miss Maltby and her fiance Dani Graves were so angered they have complained to the bus company of being "victimised".

"It is definitely discrimination, almost like a hate crime," 19-year-old Miss Maltby said yesterday.

The music technology student had this defence of her lifestyle.

"I am a pet, I generally act animal like and I lead a really easy life," she said.

"I don't cook or clean and I don't go anywhere without Dani. It might seem strange but it makes us both happy. It's my culture and my choice. It isn't hurting anyone."

The bus driver, however, has obviously not been listening.

He has repeatedly refused to allow Mr Graves, 25, and his "pet" on to his bus in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire.

Last month, with Miss Maltby on a leash as usual, the couple tried to board a bus at the bus station.

The driver, who was off duty, was standing near the door.

Mr Graves alleged: "He shoved me off the bus. He called us freaks and he called Tasha a dog.

"He said, 'We don't let freaks and dogs like you on'.

"He basically grabbed my T-shirt and slammed me backwards.

"I got a bit angry and called him a fascist pig."

In a separate incident, police were called when the driver, who has not been named, refused to allow other passengers on board after the couple ignored his orders and sat down.

The couple, who live on benefits in a council house and plan to start a family, have been friends for years.

They started going out together in July and became engaged in November.

Paul Adcock, of bus company Arriva Yorkshire, said: "We take any allegations of discrimination seriously.

"Mr Graves has already contacted us directly and as soon as our investigation has concluded we will inform him of the outcome."
 
Thats fucked up. Sounds like a bus driver needs to find a new career path. Also, two goths need to get fucking jobs.
 
now that is just evil, Bett. Evil!!



(oh just to say, I've lost a lot of respect for Liz now b/c of the upside down cross/nun thing. That really made me sad to see.)
 
You don't look like Homburg to me!! :mad: :mad: :mad:

And it's a damned good thing, Betts.

...is not very goth?

meow, thank you!

Dude, you could totaly do goth. Well, good girl gone goth, which is still dead hot. Uh, no pun intended.

You're a good man, Betts. Those firt two links and these have earned you some forgiveness. Hell, I'd go so far as to save you've earned some license with these links.

The use of religious iconography in unorthodox ways is rather common in the goth aesthetic, Gigi. It's endemic to the genre.

i understand that completely and accept it as just the way it is, I just thought it was sorta tacky and less than attractive IMHO.
 
I'm hopelessly Goth and despite getting married and having children, I've still not "grown of it." My writing is one of the ways I indulge my needs, and I hope anyone with a passing interest in this subculture finds it enjoyable. And yes, I'm a pagan and into BDSM. These three traits always seem to go hand in hand!
Anyway, I'm rather new to the whole posting and forum side of Literotica, but I'm having a lot of fun so far!

Well If you're referring to a comment I made earlier, I guess I'd have to say that the mentality never really left me so much, but my appearance has definitely changed. I really do need to get out more though.

I used to spend much more time on my aesthetics. Now I'm tired and an old fart, so hell if I care... It's not so much as "conforming is easier" as I'm just fucking lazy.

I rarely make time to color my roots - for the 'nilla world, let alone be dying my hair fuschia (My favorite of my many hair colors) - and unfortunately I have to keep my job to support my kid - fuschia hair would not go over well. *sigh* Priorities, priorities... That and I think somewhere along the way, I tripped out of my platform knee-high lace up boots...:rolleyes:

I suppose the pagan connection would probably be accurate most of the time, but I believe there is a distinct set of (pseudo?) goth christian sects... http://www.christiangoth.com/

I mean don't get me wrong. My tastes have grown with me over the years as well - but I still wear mostly black, and lots of eyeliner...

Just don't put forth so much effort as I used to. *shrug*

But yes, welcome to Lit...:rose:
