Negative reactions, although much in the minority, can come anytime, anywhere. BUT... they really lack imagination. It's pretty much the same stock comments repeated time and again. "Nice skirt, where's your pipes, are you gay"... etc. The stock answers suggested by the membership here shuts them all down pretty quickly. 8)

Has anybody come to bodily harm for wearing a kilt?
Not that I've ever heard. Certain drunk people might be inclined to feel more abusive verbally. Although I couldn't imagine anyone with your stature being concerned about that.

...Does our acceptance of ourselves wearing the kilt, play a role in others acceptance of us wearing the kilt?
Probably. I believe that at some point each of us must conclude that it is the right thing to do and that our individual reasons for doing so are sound and legitimate. Once others, such as friends and family, educated as to your reasoning, acceptance (if not understanding) is a matter of time.

Have you been anywhere you have not been comfortable wearing a kilt.
Sure... and nothing happened!
