Kilts and costumes

[macwilkin]

It is the issue. IMO, if you want to have the kilt treated like any other clothing, then treat it like any other clothing. The kilt seems to be the only type of clothing (as far as I can see) that offends just for being worn as part of a costume. That, in and of itself, prevents it from being treated as any other type of clothing.

Of course, those of us who are traditionalists will argue that because the kilt has symbolism to us in regards to our family heritage, military service, etc., we do not wish to to be "just like any other type of clothing".

Now, I'm not saying my opinion is the only correct one -- far from it. But not everyone who wears a kilt has the "cause" of its adoption as another piece of clothing. For some of us, it is a symbolic garment.

I respect those who differ from me, and ask the same in return.
