This one looks like a dress Gordon (on the right).

[Kid Cossack]

I like the "turned down" hose look with the boots.

As a keen Scottish Country Dancer I am thankful that I know the real meaning of the Gay Gordons, which is a lovely dance.
It's a shame to see the name distorted like this. Not even this parade makes me ashamed to wear a kilt, but it does come close!

I'm With you on that one Graham. loampooning is one thing. I'm a bit sick and tired of the direction things are going. A proud history and heritage, is being reduced to this...

Thanks,

For what it's worth #1: the pics of this event are a lot tamer and, I don't really know the right word, but less sexual behavior oriented and more community focused than what the media shows of pride parades here.

For what it's worth #2: the Gordon's adjective has been a snicker for a very long time, I'm sure the soldier boys have their ways of dealing with it so we don't have to take offense for them.

For what it's worth #3: if you want to think nasty thoughts, and I don't really advocate that, consider all these people meeting up afterwards in a pub. Get the nasal picture of all these guys with soaking wet wool kilts that are now starting to steam. Not a pretty picture.

For what it's worth #4: #3 that could happen to any of us on any kilt night. Dwell on common points, the walls keep good people from meeting good people.

Hmm, I think I'll start a thread on how to deal with #3 when in it comes up.

[Mr. MacDougall]

I'm straight, but have many connections to the gay and gender communities through work and friends. I've found two ways to deal with being "accused" of being gay.

1) If it's a woman, "I'm not, but you don't have to take my word for it."

2) If it's a guy, "Please. Don't flatter yourself."
