"I must admit I felt a bit disgusted at the time, but only mainly because of his/her ourtageous appearance/behaviour/smell.
I don't give a jot about peoples sexual orientations or if they feel that they have been born in the wrong body or whatever. Good luck to them I say, but what I don't like is when they go really over the top and rub it in your face!"


Hmmmm...given that the folk world and festival scene often includes cross-dressing ceilidhs (especially if Tickled Pink are involved), adults running around dressed as fairies, morris sides in costumes ranging from the extravagant to the absurd (and makeup to match), various hobby horse creatures, rapper Tommies and Betties, etc...one would have hoped that people who choose to self-express in ways that are OTT and extravagant, regardless of their sexuality or sexual orientation, would find tolerance and acceptance amongst folkies.
