In this Saturday photo, people dressed in "My Little Pony" cartoon costumes stand at "BronyCon" in Secaucus, N.J. Scores of men in brightly colored costumes were among the 4,000 "My Little Pony" fans at this weekend's gathering in New Jersey for fans of the cartoon. "Bronies" are guys who like "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic." They say they're misunderstood and there's nothing weird about their love for a show geared mainly to girls. They say they're fans because of the great stories, characters and animation. AP photo by Mel Evans
