SHEP SGH: “I WANT TO ASSURE OTHER YOUNG QUEER SIKHS THAT ONE COULD BE GAY AND SIKH”
* sikh gay guru *
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.
HOW I LEARNED TO HAVE PRI BOTH MY SIKH & GAY INTY
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? * sikh gay guru *
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.

Many profil on gay datg s also mentned “No Sikhs, ” or “No Sardars” [Ed: another term for Sikhs]. 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. Other gay Sikhs I met had siar experienc both wh the muny and om society at large.
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.
As the edor of Gaylaxy, I me across a small number of gay Sikhs a few onle foms. I wanted to assure other young queer Sikhs that one uld be gay and Sikh, and live their life openly.
