Hi, guys —
I'm a man who is a big fan of Goth music, fashion and dance.
In my free time I enjoy going to the local Goth club and dressing up in Goth clothing (all black, spikes, makeup etc), but nothing with satanic symbols.
Help! I have been avoiding going to Confession over this because I don't know if this is a mortal sin or not.

Anthony,
This is probably something best discussed with your pastor, who knows you better than we do.
I can't immediately classify it as anything that would be grave matter, and you aren't, as far as I can tell, doing it to defy God or to willfully sin, in which case it couldn't be a mortal sin, but I'd encourage you to open lines of communication with your pastor or some other trusted priest near you.
