May 22nd is World Goth Day! Although the "goth" culture has become more accepted in this day and age it is just as misunderstood, if not more so, as it ever was. In the spirit of creating understanding and acceptance here are a few resources that I like (in no particular order):
Dark Side of the Net - This website started as a resource page for all things Goth in 1993. In the last couple of years it has been reborn as a blog and it is still the best resource for finding new and exciting Goth resources such as music, art, horror movie links, and much, much more. An absolute must read!
The Sophie Lancaster Foundation - Celebrate World Goth Day by donating to The Sophie Lancaster Foundation. This charitable organization was created after a young girl was attacked and murdered because she dressed "goth." Whether one self-identifies as goth or not, this is a terrible tragedy that shows how barbaric the human race still is today, even in "civilized" countries. After Sophie's death her mom created a foundation to focus on education to help young people become more accepting of those who might be different.
Blue Blood Magazine - One of the oldest and best goth fashion webzines. From music to art and fashion to sex, nothing is off limits. The photography and models are gorgeous and the writing is original and well thought out.
