I'm pretty upset you had this problem, too. But you are not alone. We have all gone though discrimination on some level. It may be as small as a snide comment in a bar to as large as not being allowed to wear them at work or school. BUT, I have found that the best way to deal with it is to discuss it, be a gentleman about the situation, and SHOW them how good, fashionable, and, I guess in your case, conservative a kilt can be. Again, don't change yourself for them, so I don't want to tell you how to wear the kilt, but if you wear it with pride and dignity, then it will show.

Oh, and as a little post-script, it doesn't matter how many of few posts you have. You are a member here, and as such we treat you with as much respect and dignity as anybody else on the board. Welcome to Clan X-Marks.
