SHEP SGH: “I WANT TO ASSURE OTHER YOUNG QUEER SIKHS THAT ONE COULD BE GAY AND SIKH”

Navigatg this homophobic world as a gay or lbian is a ballpark we haven’t even begun to regnize. Homosexualy wh the Punjabi muny shouldn’t be a surprise to any of you. I am gog to say once and I want you to prehend — Punjabi Sikhs n be gay or lbian.

Please shed some light on how to ask a gay guy out, there are many gay Sikhs around, our life is a hell! Unfortunately for you and our other LGBT (lbian, gay, bisexual and transgenr) brothers and sisters, you are born to one of the most hetero-male domated culture ever. If you’re gay and Punjabi, there’s a low chance you will ever be able to e out to your fay.

You’re lookg for other gay Sikhs. Well, have you put out there that you’re gay? If your iends are a bunch of homophob, make new on.

Once you have a strong base of people who know, ask them to keep an eye out for other gay Sikhs.

But if your iends know you’re gay and ’s not a secret, people will eventually trickle your way. It’s 2012 and gay rights are on the up and up.
