michael Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_2694831.html?menu=news.quirkies A goth and his girlfriend, who he takes for walks on a lead, are complaining after they were banned from getting on a bus. Dani Graves and his "pet" Tasha Maltby say a bus driver refused to let them board his bus in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire. Mr Graves, 25, told the Daily Mail: "He shoved me off the bus. He said, 'We don't let freaks and dogs like you on'." The couple have complained to the bus company that they were "victimised". Miss Maltby, 19, a music technology student, said: "It is definitely discrimination, almost like a hate crime." And she defended her lifestyle, saying: "I am a pet, I generally act animal like and I lead a really easy life. "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." 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." And I thought Dewsbury couldn't get any worse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, if they were scrots, then firstly the bus driver wouldn't have been able to stop them getting on, and secondly, they wouldnt have bothered to complain about it! I've met plenty of goths in my life, they tend to be nice people, just an issue or two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I can honestly say that never have I gone through a "a stage" whereby I have had a human being as a pet and kept them on a leash. I have obviously had a sheltered life.

Jake Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Do they claim benefits then? I thought they were students.I saw it says she is a student. Of "music technology" - what's that? Listening to a iPod? Does it says what he does? I'm wondering how they qualified for a council house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
