Goth who walks fiancée on a leash is banned by bus driver

Given that she describes herself as a human pet – and is happy to walk around on a lead – Tasha Maltby is used to odd looks and even odder remarks.


But nothing had prepared her for the reaction of the bus driver who allegedly told the self-styled Goth and her boyfriend: "We don't let freaks and dogs like you on."

Miss Maltby and her fiance Dani Graves were so angered they have complained to the bus company of being "victimised".

While it is a little weird behavior, they should still be let to ride the bus. That is just plain stupid.

while I agree that the two might be a little strange in accordance to the currently pertinant social standards, they have every right to accomodate the public transportation service. They have broken no laws, nor done anything to distract the immediate public (any more than usual), so the driver therefore had no right refuse them service.

while my friends tend to dress like that, and do stuff like the leash thing, I think the whole leash thing is absolutely ridiculous...but...whatever...

that still doesn't mean that the bus driver was right either...

I guess they don't allow pets on the bus.

They'd have to allow it, though, if she was a registered "helper" animal.

"It is definitely discrimination, almost like a hate crime," 19-year-old Miss Maltby said yesterday.
