We Are the Others

A very special post today, in memory of Sophie Lancaster.

5 years ago, in August 2005, Sophie and her boyfriend Robert Maltby were attacked by a group of young people, severly injured and both fell into coma. Robert recovered gradually, left with lasting brain damage, but Sophie never woke up, and died the 24. August 2007.

The reason for this attack: they were both goths. Sophie died because she looked different.

Her family created in her honour the Sophie Lancaster foundation (Stamp Out Prejudice, Hatred & Intolerance Everywhere)

Delain's last album "We Are The Others" is dedicated to Sophie.You can watch the video for the song "We Are The Others" here

What happened to Sophie really chocked me. I can't understand how some people can be so little tolerant regarding different people. Maybe because I feel like an "outsider" sometimes.
If you have a point of view about this topic, leave a comment, I'll be happy to read them :)

We are the others,
We are the cast outs,
We're the outsiders
But you can't hide us,
We are the others,
We are the cast outs
You're no longer on your own
If you feel mistreated,
Torn and cheated,
You're not alone,
We are the others
(Delain)
