Patrick,

If you made the long journey from Alaska to our Golden State for the sole purpose of comforting your ill uncle in the hospital, then it seems that going the extra mile and wearing clothing that makes him comfortable is a small sacrifice. Family is family, and a kilt is a bit of cloth. You can change into it after your visits. My good wishes for your uncle's health and recovery.

I would remind everyone that the kilt is a masculine garment, and masculinity is not linked to one's sexual preferences.

Respecfully

Jamie
