And that is a wonderful thing. Your corner of the world sounds like a great place then.

However, there are plenty of churches in the US that would most assuredly turn away a man who showed up in any unbifurcated garment. Is that awful? Absolutely. Does that make the "Christian" church in question hypocritical? Absolutely. Does that mean such situations are fictional? Unfortunately no.

"Claptrap"? Wow. Again, I am jealous of your world.

I guess my former post in this thread wasn't clear enough. Homophobia is but a symptom of a much more real issue. In America at least, homophobia is a giant elephant sitting in the corner of the room that no one talks about. But just because no one discusses it, doesn't mean it isn't casting a huge shadow over everyone.

"C-IN2" I hate their marketing techniques, but their products are awesome.

Ian, I did stress "kilt", not something that looks like a womans' skirt, that would be controversial in ANY institution whether it be a church, the workplace etc.
The tartan kilt is without question regarded as a male garment all around the world.
I would ask you for an example of a specific church that has barred you wearing such a garment there.
I would happily speak to them on your behalf at my own expense.

From the last two years of being on this site, and learning of all the various experiences of men in kilts who have shared here, one thing I have learned....
Tasmania is a great place to live, but when it comes to attitudes and responses to kiltwearing...I don't think it is so different.

Graham, when I were my kilt to church, I cant get the people to stop complimenting/asking about where it came from, and all the other questions long enough to run sound or play in the band. Also I cannot think of one single church in my area that would outright refuse someone entrance upon the simple fact of wearing the kilt. That theory to me is completely unbellievable.

Yes, but let Jesus walk into a church, perhaps Graham's church wearing what Jesus wore and see how long he'd last! Really, a person can't say anything tongue in cheek with Graham around! Was I not being facetious enough? Lighten up Graham... :smile:

Lighten up?? did you not see the little smilie face at the end of my comment? hey I can joke about Jesus in church, I'm not offended, I think you misunderstand which is easy done in forums like this.

It appears that I did, probably due to my advancing age and failing eyesight...;o)~
In any case I have been giving this much thought and I've come up with a silver lining to this thread. Since it seems acceptable for a woman to pursue a man in a kilt to get a look or a picture up under his kilt it seesm to me that it would be acceptable for a man to ascertain what a woman wears or is not wearing under a kilt if indeed she is wearing a mans kilt or am I wrong? If a woman has the total lack of class to wear a mans kilt, assuming that she isn't a dancer or piper, then she must understand that a kilt does not carry the same taboos as a womans skirt or dress. These are, after all de facto rules according to some women.
