Graham,

I am a police officer and I wear kilts to almost every city, union and extra curricular function and find that few people care. Most comments are of the "You've got to have some big b@lls to wear a kilt." Mostly admiration from my bosses. It's the muck savages and rednecks that take most offence at a kilt. Most are shut down when confronted, but it has never progressed. Mostly the "Homophobe" knackers and I usually just say "Because you find me attractive does not make me gay" and they slink away quickly after.

My co workers are cool and supportive and think it's different. Some people just respect someone for doing something they can't imagine doing themselves, and others try to make a joke at your expense.
