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

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. Amidst the Humve and ttosterone filled bhangra petns, ’s impossible to fd gay love (or any kd for that matter). If this is the se for hetrosexuals, then one n jt image how difficult mt be to date as a homosexual an already extremely small muny.

It is also a fah where, for a long time, no large-sle discsns around the topic of homosexualy have taken place wh the muny (for good or bad). I was Sikh, and later I realized I was gay, and both of the were part of me, and I did not thk beg one meant givg up on the other.

But as I started unrstandg my sexualy more, beme part of var onle queer groups and muni, and joed some of the gay datg webs, I started yearng to see gay men who looked like me – wh a turban and beard. Instead of the clean-shaved look that most gay men seemed to have and prefer, my turban and facial hair (along wh the texts the datg s) sowed a doubt my md that no one would ever want to date me, g to a lot of body-image issu that took a while to go. But spe not beg relig myself, my experienc as a gay man were startg to get shaped bee of my relig inty.

As a 22 year old, I lnched a LGBT e-magaze lled Gaylaxy  2010 to provi a platform for the muny to nnect wh each other. I wanted to assure other young queer Sikhs that one uld be gay and Sikh, and live their life openly.

A GAY MAN’S STGGLE FOR ACCEPTANCE THE SIKH MUNY

For a fah which has always advoted equaly and stood up for the opprsed, but where s texts are silent on the issue of homosexualy, we need to open up nversatns wh the Sikh fah to safeguard s re and ensure that we do not let homophobia w. Shep Sgh is the founr and edor--chief of Gaylaxy Magaze, an e-magaze wily read India and South Asia.
