Revd Marcus Ramshaw welcomes the inclusion of goths to hate crime criteria.
Attacks on groups, including goths and punks, are to be formally recognised as a hate crime.
Greater Manchester Police have become the first force to treat abuse against these sub-cultures in the same way as attacks based on race, religion or sexual orientation.
It follows a campaign by Sophie Lancaster's family. The 20 year old was murdered for the way she dressed.
Revd Marcus Ramshaw set up the Gothic Eucharist services at St Edward's Church in Cambridge.
He told Premier's News Hour the new definition is a positive move:
News you can believe in. Stand with Premier Christian News today.
Your gift today ensures that Premier Christian News can press forward in strength, reaching more people with biblical truth and shaping the future of Christian thought. It’s more than just a donation—it’s an investment in renewed minds and transformed lives.
Without continued support, the ability to create and distribute resources that strengthen faith and equip the church will be compromised. But with your help, we can grow deeper, stand firmer, and shine brighter in the culture.
Your support today is critical.
