A goth woman who likes to be led around on a leash by her fianceé  says she was "victimized" by a bus driver who wouldn't let them board. He reportedly chastised her, yelling, "We don't let freaks and dogs like you on."

Dani Graves and Tasha Maltby (left) have complained to authorities in the British town of Dewsbury, saying that their being barred from the bus amounted to "discrimination, almost like a hate crime."

Interestingly, Maltby says she likes the leash because it fits the way she lives: "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."
