How does what "they" think affect what you wear?

[Guinness>water]

It is very interesting to see peoples reaction to me wearing a kilt. Its all good or all bad, no in between. Some men come up and say "Thats awesome, thanks for wearing it" or I get "Pinche Joto"(translation: F'ing Homo) from our Mexican immigrants.

Even with the very strong of a personality that I have, it does still affect me. The harassment makes me question if I feel like putting up with it that particular day. I wish kilted men were such a normal sight that it went completely unnoticed. That would be fine with me.

I feel more manly when I wear a kilt and I love that I am able to represent my ancestry. I also enjoy the opportunity to explain what tartan I am wearing and where my name comes from. People wanting picture doesnt bother me too bad, as long as they ask and do it in a respectful manner. However, people (usually kids) walking behind me making funny faces and trying not to get caught taking the picture does bother me. There are plus'es and minuses, its up to us to weigh weather its worth the trouble or not.
