Man arrested in Moscow for ‘wearing a kilt’

[ScottishStuart]

Spotted this story on the Scotsman website this morning:

It doesn't seem to mention what happened to the chap after his arrest.

It's difficult to deal with ignorance and/or possible homophobia.

*Sigh*

[tripod]

Homophobic with no sense of humor. Hope it was a wool kilt as it's cold in Siberia.

Difficult to deal with police officers who have never seen a kilt.
I'm surprised they've never seen kilts at Burns Suppers.

there are probably more Burns Suppers in Russia than in any other country, outside of Scotland

Perhaps Burns Night events in Russia don't tend to attract the attention of the police; or perhaps the police just never get invited to those sorts of parties.

That is so strange. I wonder what actually prompted it. There has to be more to it.

One would hope so....
