What is the Sikh attu to homosexualy?
Anyone is wele to bee a Sikh, cludg those wh homosexual orientatn. However, to act upon homosexual tennci would not be le wh Sikh tradn and of nduct. However, no one has a license om the Gu to jtify their own personal habs, behavur or liftyle that is not advoted by the Sikh relign wh the label of Sikhi, whether straight or gay.
Sri Gu Granth Sahib Ji and other Sikh scriptur like Bhai Gurdaas Ji’s Bani (holy wrgs) do not enterta the possibily of a homosexual marriage or relatnships. In addn to this, there has been no promotn or even a reference to homosexual relatnships and marriag the history of Ten Gus perd or beyond till prent day. For someone to jtify or promote homosexualy based on the absence of homosexualy or the reference to Sikh scriptur and Sikh history om the tim of the Sikh Gus till morn tim would be dishont and manipulatn of the tth.
HOW I LEARNED TO HAVE PRI BOTH MY SIKH AND GAY INTY
However, any relatnship before or outsi wedlock, irrptive of whether is a heterosexual or homosexual relatnship, is clearly forbidn Sri Gu Granth Sahib Ji and the Sikh Co of Conduct rerd historil texts and mancripts, as well as the morn-day 'Sikh Rehat Maryada' document that is ed an official reference pot for Sikh relig by Sri Akal Takhat Sahib, the Sikh Supreme Authory Amrsar.
The qutn then is, if homosexual relatnships are ‘natural’ and should be accepted as a fundamental part of the self, then why all of a sudn would people mand that Sikhs should support and allow same-sex marriag when this practice has not been spoken of, advoted nor practised over 500 years of Sikh history? Eher homosexualy existed Punjab, the land where the Sikh fah was revealed and flourished, 500 years ago but not promoted, and therefore, no reference to s promotn Sikh sacred texts and relig . Or the promotn and validatn of homosexual relatnships is a morn phenomenon which is now beg attempted to be phed on fah tradns.
This rdal prohibn appli to any relatnship, whether be heterosexual or homosexual etc. The qutn is, who do people seekg jtify homosexualy g Sikhi e as a reference pot their claims? Pro-homosexualy activists seekg to jtify their personal liftyle preference wh the seal of approval of Sikhi, stretch the Sikh Gus’ teachg of nsirg all humany as one and treatg all wh rpect, wh advotg homosexualy.
