My Little Pony, that cute little children's character meant to be for little girls has a young male following. Typically in the 13-30 years old range, these are closet Little Pony fans, known as bronys. I bring all this up because I found out that my nephew who was just newly married last year is a brony.
This all came about when his new wife who loves to knit and crochet, made a cute set of pokeman toys. She gave them all away to relatives who had small children. She posted pictures of them on Facebook and added that her husband just bought her a pattern book for My Little Pony and was anxious for her to start making them right away.
So she made them, and posted pictures of the toy ponies on Facebook. Then came the comments from friends and family wanting this one or that one. That ended when her husband said they were not going to give away or sell the ponies. It now dawned on most of the family that knew about the brony cult that he was a closet brony.
