What brought you to kilting?I like nice clothes, but got bored with trousers. Kilts give me more options. The trigger event was that someone suggested I'd look good in one.
What are the reactions and feelings from your significant others and your families?My family is not part of my life much, so it has not come up. I doubt they would understand so well; Mother, especially. My father has been exploring the family trees and would see the Scottish connections, however. My ex SO would have considered it cross-dressing. My future SO thinks it's great and would like to have one of his own. Some of my friends (the family I choose) have embraced it, but it has alienated me from some others (though this may have less to do with the kilt than my not caring what they think about it).
What do you think makes you accepting of kilting, as it is certainly not the norm, nor does everyone accept it?I try to live and let live as much as possible. Having grown up with an awareness of what it was to feel like an outsider, I came to understand that to "love your neighbor as yourself," an open mind helped considerably.
Regards,
Rex.
