How Should Sikhs View Homosexuality?


Recommended Posts

I could never imagine myself asking this question. I have all my life been against gay marriage and against homosexuality.

Now im in my second year of college, and i'm starting to be more aware of the people around me.

.

My friend, he is sikh too, might be gay. i dont know for sure, but im pretty sure he is. i dont want to ask, because quite frankly im afraid. i dont know what to do or how to view him anymore. he is still the same person, my friend and almost like a brother to me.

i got curious i looked up a few articles on sikhi and homosexuality. i dont really know what to think, but i have an idea in my head now.

sikhi tells us that everyone is equal, and we should treat everyone the same. so regardless if homosexuality is wrong or not, we should still treat them like we treat everyone else??? right?

im sorry if my thoughts are a little confusing

I don't think anyone here has enough vidhia to say whether or not it's right or wrong for sure.

In my opinion, though, from my knowledge of biology I don't think homosexuality is chosen or influenced by the environment (in some to most cases).

Well personaly I think homosexuality is against Sikhi. Well we dont cut our hair because Waheguru Ji made us this way and we dont want to cut our hair and change the roop he has given us. We believe that every hair is there for a purpose. We are also born with a Sex, either male or female. So by becoming a homosexual we are going against Nature and God. My personal views. This video might help too.

WaheGuru Ji what ever the case we treat them as anyone else

no matter what

Guru Ji makes it clear that we show compassion to all humans

they still have their rights

we should treat them well

keep them as friends

dont fall into their veechar noone says u have to

but dont ever ever look down on anyone

Sikhi doesnt say homosexuals are condenmed

yes it is not the lifestyle of a sant but still

they are people just as us

we have no right to call anyone bad or look down on them

Look upon all with an impartial eye

It is high time,

we need to make an active effort to stop the 'gay-bashing'... ageism, discimination against disabled, and any other minority group

that is constantly discriminated against for being different.

Pornography is a far greater disease than the few non-straight individuals that are out there. We live from Lower chakra levels,

and are raised in lower chakra levels. It is not genetic, else how can it be explained that some people have spontaneous remission from straight-non-straight to straight.

Here is an example of someone who has overcome the public misperception: http://www.ramdass.org/biography

As well, this heaven/hell concept, it must be re-iterated belongs exclusively to the semetic religions. We must break away from this misconception.

Whether or not being 'gay' is still around 2000 years from now when the planet has awakened consciously and lives at higher chakra and spiritual centers, who knows. But at the very least, hate is not going to get either them, or us to that point. We must consciously evolve through Love, compassion, and Acceptance of God's Will

Well we dont cut our hair because Waheguru Ji made us this way and we dont want to cut our hair and change the roop he has given us.

Can you please show if the Gurus ever stated this to be the reason for keeping Kesh? Thanks.

Well Im not sure thats what I was told by elders. Forgive me for any mistakes because I have just recently started to realize Sikhi and started to keep my kesh. If you have a better reason then please let me know. Thanks!

And I am in no way talking about hating Gay people. Its their choice. They are humans as well and we should treat them equally. I just tried to answer the question on how Sikhi relates to homosexuality. Like TejiKaur Phenji said that it is not a lifestyle of Saints, and since we are supposed to be SaintSoldiers, its shouldnt be a part of our lifestyle.

And for PunjaiBlaze's question, just because your friend is a homosexual does not change him. You liked him before too. Personally I think you should treat him the same no matter what he thinks or believes in.

Bhul Chuk Maaf.

Take a trip down south with him and let the red necks deal with him. LOL Billy and Bob will set him straight. Uncle Willy will scare him straight.

Why look at him different? He's still human or are you scared he's looking you up and down. Gays have a disease just like staight folks, it's called kaam. Live like the Guru's and everything is fine.

The guy labels that as common sense, but biology isn't that simple. The dna may create the specified organs for a gender, but there is a 180 degree shift in a gene in which the person has the opposite gender and opposite characteristics.

If you really look at it, gender doesn't matter, your body is a vessel that waheguru planted you in. If you look at it in a different perspective it could be a test or a result of something that may have happened...anyways, I'm not refuting what he's saying, just clarifying. I'm not entirely sure of what is true and not, and before someone jumps to ask i'm not gay.

edit- You can't really say a homosexual can or can't be a saint, what grounds do you have for this?

This science is false. I bet if they saw 2 Sadhus talking together in India, the westerners will write they were homo-sexuals. It is all a matter of controlling the opposite force which can demoralise the whole planet. The answer is religion does not last for very long when there is no knowledge of God left. When i searched the English langauge i found a word for almost everything and when it came to God, it is very simple and short supported by arguments.

    • lol dal panth Panj told me explicitly not to associate with Vadhbhag Singh Sodhi followers!
    • We have lamp (or Jyot) the pure unscented candle for a reason. Traditionally, Patis used candle light (jyot), so they could read SGGS in darkness. Light, elec didn't exist. Dhoop is used to attract the "Good spirits" but also keep freshness where Maharaj will be.  Interestingly and coincidentally I heard Sakhi a few dsys ago. During Dasa Pitha's time these souls were roaming the Earth and even Sangat noticed. Maharaj asked them "y u here?" They replied during recitation of SGGS and making Degh they didn't bother lighting candle. THAT WAS THEE ONLY REASON NO GATI WAS GIVEN TO THEM!!!  AUTHENTICITY NOT CHECKED I heard once on YT like 2 days ago.  If u apply dhoop in one room of your house twice a week u will notice a difference esp in the smell and freshness of that room. 
    • Sangat ji, With the hot weather as per Guru's Hukm, how can we look after our kes?  First of all the beard! Working in Construction, factory and any other heated environment I UNDERSTAND! At my workplace it's over 32 degree celcius and sometimes we have to lift 20kg ALL! DAY! My tips, regularly shampoo the beard during ishnan. APPLY OIL! The technique of applying oil is by rubbing it thoroughly in the roots. Pay attention to the noise esp on the chin. You will hear this "crosh crosh" noise. Keep rubbing oil until u can't hear it no more! This means the oil has blended in properly.  Second tip on beard, keep an extra kanga in your pocket. Every two, three hours give your beard a proper comb down to get rid of any sweat or stickiness. SECOND BENEFIT! Do this all 12 months every single day your beard will look like it's been professionally groomed. TRY IT! People will ask you "What gel u use? How can yer beard be naturally like that?" You can say all I use is coconut oil or whaeva oil but just comb the beard every 2-3 hours for a minute.  As for the kes, morning time get rid of all the gronjra (or knots - forgotten English word), in the morning. However, during evening comb down make sure you get rid of small remaining gronjra and comb yer hair nice and straight. You will feel soooo so relaxed. Yes our hair will go unnoticed due to Dastar, but our hair demands time and self grooming!So proper combing down, spending a good 15-20 mins most evenings is an absolute MUST!  Most evenings I let my hair down and cover hair with my parna for 2-3 hours so it gets to relax from the tying up.  FINAL TIP! We are Sikhs so we keep fighting and remember this! The tradition of Dastar and uncut hair started in India, where the weather is twice as hot. Everytime we bring this thought in the mind, Guru ji will bless us and make us feel cooled down by a notch.  Fateh.       
    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.

Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
