Kilt to prom on Glee tonight in prime time!

[biblemonkey]

...These statements you list do not attack homosexuality. They do express some dismay as to how the kilt was portrayed on a tv show, in that of all the characters wearing it--was the homosexual. When heterosexual men wear a kilt, they do not want to be identified as homosexual, particularly because they are wearing their ancestral attire...

Indeed the spirit in which my responses were intended. Gerard Butler in a kilt gets "wow...Gerard butler in a kilt". The kid on glee "another day another Kurt in a skirt." For somone who fights for the masculine perception of the highland wear and who's ancestry (the Grahams) aknowledged it as the "manly wear of the highlander" (paraphrasing), it was a blow to the cause in my personal circle to have one of the most popularly effeminately gay television characters wear a kilt and get so much press over it. it reinforced an effeminate sterotype enjoyed by the closed minded set and made my uphill battle that much harder.

Now, if you are gay and wear a kilt...enjoy the kilt! But the media in general has a much different agenda and in this case I think it was not the masculinity of the highland wear.

Good luck with your uphill battle

Thanks, I'm trying. But on I press in the knowledge that the kilt is an honorable garment with hundreds of years of rough, tough, principled men to back me up no matter what those non-thinkers of the world may say.

"A man in a kilt is a man and a half" after all.

FREEDOM!
