A GAY MAN’S STGGLE FOR ACCEPTANCE THE SIKH MUNY
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? * can sikhs be gay *
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. 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.
SHEP SGH: “I WANT TO ASSURE OTHER YOUNG QUEER SIKHS THAT ONE COULD BE GAY AND SIKH”
Many of the discsns centered around homosexualy basilly state that beg Gay is accepted as the way God created you. When a Sikh iend was nonted about this belief he said may be ok to be Gay but Sikhism would not perm sexual terurse between homosexuals even a mted, monogamo unn bee is a form of unnatural lt. My qutn is n two "married" homosexuals have sexual terurse and still be followg Gods teachgs? * can sikhs be gay *
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. Another monly manipulated or mised le of Gurbani by zealot gay activists seekg to jtify homosexualy wh Sikhi is:.
If someone was to e the Sikh ncept of universal brotherhood or fayhood to jtify gay relatnships and gay marriag om a Sikh perspective, would be like g universal brotherhood to jtify the crim of crimals, or social wrongs of people society? Zealot gay activists state that Sikh relign has an “emphasis on self-acceptance” orr to jtify homosexualy om a Sikh perspective. Whether homosexual clatns, tennci and behavur are natural or not do not hold any weight when discsg Gurmat (the Gu’s teachgs).
How n the zealot gay activists force acceptance of homosexualy on the Sikh fah unr the ransom of otherwise claimg Sikhs are tyrants better words for not?
HOW I LEARNED TO HAVE PRI BOTH MY SIKH AND GAY INTY
* can sikhs be gay *
A Sikh may not agree wh homosexual’s liftyle or behavur but we uld also on a personal level not agree wh the liftyl of 95% of humany who love to drk, and others smoke, etc. The fact is the Amrdhari liftyle do not allow of homosexualy, and this is not batable. Siarly, for a person who claims to be homosexual, the act of homosexualy is the problem and nmned, not the human beg.
It seems that “homophobia” is brand around for the nvenience of the lik of such activists who wish to jtify their personal liftyle and beliefs unr the label of the Sikh fah, rather than as their own dividual eedom of choice, which no Sikh would terfere wh. Although Sikhi do not fd homosexual behavur acceptable, Sikhi do not “hate” or believe that homosexuals are damned to hell as propagated by some religns. While Sikhism has no teachgs on sexual orientatn, and neher do the holy book, the Gu Granth Sahib, refer to homosexualy, some gay Sikhs feel their culture is prejudiced agast them, says Kulj.
