    Wearing my with pride at Pride

    I wore my kilt with pride at Belfast Pride's Parade last weekend. I dressed it down with a day sporran, walking socks and shoes and the t-shirt of the group I was representing.

    However, as soon as I posted my picture on Facebook I got a comment from a straight English friend that I shouldn't be wearing the kilt at pride as it would make people associate it with gay men. He said he took pride in wearing his kilt and told me to take a look at the pictures he had on his profile. I found just the one of him paintballing in his wearing a full dress sporran.

    I guess I'm not taking advice from someone prepared to get the fur in his dress sporran covered in paint while paintballing.

    FTR I wasn't the only kilt in the parade. Having been in Scotland for 9 years I've seen kilts often worn in Pride parades and I also got a lot of comments about the kilt as I paraded. Many along the lines of "Oh! It is good to see a kilt without having to fully dress it up."

    You were suggesting that was what the "friend" needs to post next on his facebook right?

    Is your friend just bigoted against gays. I thought the idea was that everyone could embrace the kilt irrespective of race, colour, religion, or country of origin. I for one wear the Kilt because I want too. I want to belong to a larger friendlier society that doesnt judge anyone because of their background.
    Good on you, wear it with pride.

    I'm confused...which guy is gay? My Gaydar can't tell just by looking.

    By your friend's logic p**s are off the table as well, cause two of these guys are wearing p**ts.

    Oh, they are all gay? Who cares?
