Straight Talk

[xman]

So I was kilted to a fund raiser the other night in a downtown bar. As the fund raiser ended and the regular bar patrons started filling the place I was certainly noticed. I wasn't quite aware of how much until the 'Straight' comments started up. First was, well I should describe her as, a drop dead gorgeous blonde who walked by and then turned on her heels with a very obviously (to me) fake, "Oh, I forgot something" and returned to her table where her, equally attractive brunette friend waited and watched. Being of my particular sexual orientation I couldn't help but check her out on her way by. Both women noticed me do this as this was clearly their plan in the first place and then began the excited muttering, "That guy is straight"! From that point on, any time that I glanced at an attractive woman the very same comment could be heard in my wake with a tone of astonishment from the males and triumph from the females. Next time I think I'll flaunt it a little more and make all the guys jealous.

I've gotten that a couple of time too. It is a shame that when a man wears manly attire he is thought be gay. That even happened to me when I walked through a Hillary for President rally, on my way to an event at the other end of park. So much for the democrats being the tollerent ones.

Great story, a man in a kilt is a man and a half.

The sad thing is that if you dressed like this


or this


there probably would not have been a question in their minds.

A lot of people don't understand the difference between this


and this

Sometimes the power of the kilt is slow to reveal itself

The kilt has strange powers. It tends to make non-kilted bone heads even more so and many a lovely lass weak in the knees. Wonder what Vancouver haunt you were in?

I'm a bit surprised at the concept of "kilt = gay." From my limited observations, kilts have not been embraced by the gay community to any degree beyond that of straight men, i.e. some gay guys like 'em; some straight guys like 'em - in about equal percentages! Or, maybe I'm totally clueless in this regard...?

[Burly Brute]

Their ignorance be their folly. Tis true that many a men don't understand the beautiful masculinity of the kilt, but when one ponders over who this includes it tis no wonder that they are so poor in mind and likewise poor in heart.

The Cellar. Granville & all.

You should have checked out the men too. That would really have made them wonder.
