SHEP SGH: “I WANT TO ASSURE OTHER YOUNG QUEER SIKHS THAT ONE COULD BE GAY AND SIKH”
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. And we thought our liv as straight men or women were tough? * gay sikhs *
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.

Founr of Indian e-magaze Gaylaxy explas why urage n be very fect... * gay sikhs *
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. ” Generatg a lot of discsn some Sikh foms onle, I felt empowered to eventually follow up wh an article challengg the homophobia shown by SGPC (the body regulatg Gudwaras India).

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.
He ntributed the chapter on Sikhism and homosexualy the book I Am Dive So Are You about Karmic fahs and sexualy and has pleted a documentary on LGBT Sikhs, Sab Rab De Ban (We Are All God’s Children). Giani Jogr Sgh Vedanti, the hight temporal thory to some Sikhs, recently nmned homosexualy while remdg visg Sikh-Canadian Members of Parliament (MPs) of their relig duty to oppose same-sex marriage.

The supreme Sikh relig body, the Akal Takht, has issued an edict nmng gay marriage, and Vedanti's words were echoed by Manj Sgh Kalkatta, another highly rpected Sikh preacher who ss on the erng body of the Goln Temple, the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Commtee.

However, Sikhs that are more acceptg of homosexualy claim that this is equally applible to heterosexuals.

The same Sikhs believe that Gu Nanak's emphasis on universal equaly and brotherhood is fundamentally support of the human rights of homosexuals.
Views on homosexualy tend not to be a primary ncern Sikh teachgs, as the universal goal of a Sikh is to have no hate or animosy to any person, regardls of race, ste, lor, creed, genr, or sex. Many Sikhs have terpreted this to mean that homosexualy, which nnot rult procreatn, is unnatural and agast God's will.
Many Sikhs who have homosexual sir will try to overe what they believe to be lt by marryg a member of the oppose sex and havg children. Like liberals om other fahs and backgrounds, Sikhs who support homosexualy believe that 's not unnatural, but is normal for a mory of adults. The Sikhs strs that homosexualy is not discsed nor specifilly banned any of the wrgs of the Gu, and that the fay liftyle the Gu enurag n be cultivated by two members of the same sex.
