Read about the gothic minority here. Their hero is apparently Marilyn Manson, so maybe a junket is in order. (The kind where the government pays for us to go there and eat.)

Interesting. Im not to sure what to think, maybe first that they need more music then Mr. Manson(not hating on him, hes just somehow been cast in with goths even though im pretty sure he detests the lable). I mean he has said some great stuff in the past(had great one liners).

To me it seems like they are targeted by their own government for how they dress. which is the same as being targeted for your race(though you can change your clothes)

What you said...nothing on MM at all, but their government...my oh my.

Truthfully, I don't like Marilyn Manson and I don't particularly care for what he stands for. But whatever works for him.

People in general have a tendency to want others to conform, for a variety of reasons. Group cohesiveness and cultural identity are two reasons that groups apply pressure to the individual to conform. With that said, some people find it threatening when a person or group does not seem to internalize aspects of society (and reflect that ideology in obvious ways)- which is ultimately why a lot of goths are targeted by bullies and hate groups.

It seems that the individuals in the government are acting on this tendency.

I wouldn't be surprised if the cemetery were vandalized by hardliners who either figured these types of kids would be blamed for it; or so that they themselves could go out and blame them for it. The fact that the cemetery was a western styled one, for christians no less, doesn't seem to mesh well with the government's anti-west slants.
