Skirt Cafe is an on-line community dedicated to exploring, promoting and advocating skirts and kilts as a fashion choice for men, formerly known as men in skirts. We do this in the context of men's fashion freedom --- an expansion of choices beyond those commonly available for men to include kilts, skirts and other garments. We recognize a diversity of styles our members feel comfortable wearing, and do not exclude any potential choices. Continuing dialog on gender is encouraged in the context of fashion freedom for men. See here for more details.

The only missed opportunities are the days when everyone who wants to wear a skirt doesn't do it.
I'd echo that sentiment Modoc.
The key is everyone who "wants" to wear a skirt!
Mr Average Hetero-Normal is put off by LGBTQ association probably isn't that keen in the first place and likely bases more of his life decisions on "other" opinions too.
Follows the herd in other words.

I don’t really care if skirts, dresses and tights etc are associated with LGBTQ. If I like the look and style of clothing and it’s comfortable and fits then I’ll wear it no matter if it’s classed as “women’s” clothing. Unfortunately, a lot of men don’t think that way and will continue to be trapped in the man box.

With all the anti lgbtq legislation coming out across the country, you might want to start caring.

At the moment, DrFishnets lives in the UK, so is free to not care. Obviously governments change and new laws can be added, but we are all free at the moment.

At the moment, but even from a non legal perspective, I've literally been bitched at on account of skirts being associated with lgbtq. It just makes it harder on some of us who aren't part of it.

Maybe so in the land of Uncle Sam but over here in the UK and especially Scotland the governments are easy on the LGBTQ movement at the moment.
BTW I’m not LGBTQ. I am just a man who likes wearing skirts, dresses and tights.

Living in Texas I am not aware of any LGBTQ legislation, perhaps in other states. If there was something happening I'm sure my gay friends would say something about it.
