Bad news

I'm very sorry to hear about the discrimination you are facing.
When my church was first introduced to my kilt-ing, a few eyebrows were raised.
When one of the ladies mentioned something to me, I quietly asked her for the passage that mentioned Jesus wearing pants. ;) Nothing more has ever been mentioned.
While I wear kilts whenever I can, I try to always wear one for Sunday services. I am one of our church's ushers, and help with the Offeratory each week. I now regularly field questions regarding tartans, history, heritage, etc. And of course I got married in this church, in a full outfit.
I guess while our situations are not that alike, there is hope that you can open their eyes and minds.

SENSIBLE AND POLITE. MAYBE SOME GENTLE PERSUASION WILL HELP? OR,IS THIS ALL FINAL?

As ever, education is a needed first step. Don't cross sabres before politely trying to enlighten the ignorant ones.
