My sister was married to a Samoan guy, those men wear skirts. I dare anyone to call them queenies to their face.

Very few of them do. I know many samoans that don't participate in the skirt wearing.
I don't understand why a rough and tough man would want to wear a womans garment anyway.

We have Burmese people who attend our church, and the men put on these wrap-type skirts whenever they're cooking (probably other times, too, but that's just what I've observed.) They don't seem less "manly" because of this custom, and most certainly not "feminine." They don't see it as a woman's garment, obviously, although women wear them, too. It's more of a unisex/practical piece of clothing.

Which makes your Burmese male congregants more in line with the first century church who wore robes, than we today who wear these new-fangled pant thingies.

That's ignorant. It's not a woman's garment in their native culture. It might be in Western culture, which is where you get your culture from, but not to them.
