So have you ever been afraid to wear the kilt.

[Colonel MacNeal]

What you're really asking is if I'm afraid of ignorance and intolerance. Usually, no. Sometimes, yes. No point denying it.

Do you know Colonel, I have never thought of kilt wearing in those terms before and I have given more than a wee bit of thought to the subject before replying. I think that as I was brought up wearing the kilt,in a kilt wearing area, that was and still is, second nature for me and holds no threat, real or otherwise, for me.I have been anxious, afraid even, on occasion, but never ever about wearing the kilt.

You know, I think this is a good point. People acting out of ignorance and intolerance (the definition of bigot) can pick targets for all kinds of spurious reasons.

But since you can't know when you're going to get onto some bigot's radar, you'd have to give up kilts (or anything else that some loser might find objectionable) in an attempt to stay "safe".

Well, forget about that. All you can really do is be yourself, wear a kilt and keep your head up and your eyes open.
