That's really where the problem with some people lie. They can't wrap their heads around the fact that it's a summer party that's also Western themed.
Somehow dressing like a Cowboy to these people somehow means you endorse a red-meat eating, gay-bashing, redneck, republican lifestyle. Whereas wearing lederhosen during Octoberfest innocently means you just like drinking beer and having a good time.
In reality wearing Cowboy attire during Stampede is exactly same thing. Not wearing cowboy attire to the Stampede or Stampede functions is just like that guy who comes to an 80s party wearing his everyweek Friday night clothes.
