How Should Sikhs View Homosexuality?


Recommended Posts

Homosexuality is biological... there are homosexuals in different animal species too.. so it's not a cultural or social influence. It's just the way their brains work. The brain of a homosexual man resembles that of a heterosexual woman (and vice versa for lesbian women), which is why they are attracted to men instead of women. Also there are many people who are born as something "between", or have both female and male reproductive organs. How should these people be classified? Whom are they allowed to love and marry with? And generally, masculinity and femininity manifest themselves in so many different ways in the average heterosexual people too...

Anyway, it's a serious issue.. Denying gay Sikhs the right to marry, is basically to deny them of gristhi jeevan. Either they have to live alone for all their lives, be untruthful and marry a woman (or man in case of lesbians), or break the rehat. What should they do? If anand kaaraj is a union between two souls, why should it matter what the two bodies are like?

Bhen ji, I believe you don't understand even though the soul does not have a gender, Guru Sahib blessed us with gender names, like Singh and Kaur. Otherwise one last name for woman and man would have been good. Guru Sahib recongized man and woman are different and a gristhi jeevan happens between man and woman joined with Anand Karaj.

Inter-gendered people existed in Guru Sahib time, do you really think it's just a new thing and Guru Sahib lacked the knowledge, like what name should they be given if they are not Singh or Kaur, they are bit of both. Sri Guru Gobind Singh Sahib ji is all knowing and addressed the issue by telling us control your kaam and get into a union of man with woman. Some people are physically attracted to both genders, so which way do they go? Again Guru Sahib knew his Sikhs will rise aboves these foolish arguements and understand man and woman are to be joined together.

A person that is devoted to Waheguru just looks at marriage and eating and sleeping as non-important (just on list as things to do), and just accepts the way of life Guru Sahib lived and accepts it as the path.

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

The reason why I say that a homosexual cannot become a saint is because we as humans and as Sikhs need to fight the 5 vices. I dont think anyone has the right to judge anyone else, but one of the 5 vices is Lust. When a homosexual decides to have a relationship with another homosexual then its all Lust/Kaam. If someone who is a homosexual but concentrates on Waheguru and the teachings of the Guru and doesnt let Lustful forces take him/her over then yes they can become Saints. Since I dont really know a lot in depth about this topic, this is what I think from the basics.

Yeah, that's pretty much it, but it applies to straight and nonstraight people as well.

The Akal Takhat has given a Hukamnama banning Gay marriages or relationships

Thank you for posting this up !!!!

How can someone classify it as an unatural relationship if the person's body is different from the soul. Also I don't think people should have blind faith in what someone else tells you this is something the Gurus have told us to think about as Sikhs.

In my opinion someone could be just as saintly and be gay, gender doesn't matter, differences we find in each other in terms of gender, race, ect.. ect.. are all illusions of separation. We're all one, people fear and instantly try to demonize what they don't understand.

Your lack of wanting to understand the biology, let alone our posts regarding the subject tells it all, you disregard it before any discussion. No way to see it differently if you do that.

homosexuality in this life is due to Karma from a previous life, just as being third gender is, or as they are known: Khusra. Akali Baba Trilok Singh Ji said this is due to paap of previous life which they have to fulfil in this life. So whereas Khusre are unable to bear or sire offspring, homosexuals are similarly aflicted with this same gender attraction. Under no circumstances shold any1 call them stupid things like b-boys. YOu may be one in you next life to atone for it!

Gay marriages are not Gurmat. Bisexually people are biologicaly attracted to both genders, so to satisfiy them, they get to have two marriage partners of opposite sex. Now do we bend over backwards, which means leave Gurmat of one marriage partner and let these type of people have two? Are you willing to robb them of their so called natural ways. Where is the fairness, I thought Sikhi was all about equality. Your heading down a manmat rollercoaster.

    • Gurfateh Sangat Ji,   Recently came across this GoFundMe for this Singh and his treatment. Let's contribute if we can.  https://www.gofundme.com/f/my-husband-needs-fund-for-his-cancer-treatment-?viewupdates=1&rcid=r01-173944584254-bf0b275700784313&utm_medium=email&utm_source=customer&utm_campaign=p_email%2B1137-update-supporters-v5b     Gurbar Akaaluhhh    
    • All 10 sikh gurus are Surya vanshi Jats. Bedi trehan bhalla and sodhi are descended from Surya vsnhi king Dasrath father of Sri ram, laxman, Bharat, and shatrugunah.  Sri ram birth lav and kush from whom bedi and sodhi come, Bharat bhalla, and laxman trehan guru angad dev jis gotra.  That's why the sikh gurus military capital aka Akal Takhat had Surya vanshi flags. Hari Mandir was also constructed after Babar destroyed Ram Mandir as a symbol that Ram Chanders legacy and descendants were still alive in kal yug and that the resistance to invaders was fully active.  The British created the sgpc to suppress this knowledge as they wanted to divide sikhism from its roots so they could divide and rule, as punjab was the last region that had not come under their pay check. False parchariks under the East India Comlany pay roll manufactured the divide between sikh and hindu when in fact they are the same thing. This divide eventually led to Operation Blue Star.    Bhul chuk maf karna.  Their original clan flag
    • Ik i'm a few (13) years late but basically: Get a single Mal-mal dastar (around 3-5 metres) and starch it. You just whisk 2 ladles of starch (Kershaw's, cornstarch or maida) with around 5 cups of water until it's completely smooth and mix it on low heat flame for around 20 mins until it goes clear and think like water. When this cools off, take a clean but damp turban and soak it into the starch and make sure you coat the whole dastar evenly You leave it out to hang dry in the sun/air. Once dry u can store it in a cool, dry place until you wanna tie it (for about 4 months) Take the dastar, sprinkle some water all throughout the turban to make it slightly wet and just soft enough to tie. Then you and another person hold the dastar at each end to make a stretched rectangle (two people holding one corner in each of their hands). Fold it in half width-wise 3 times. Tie the turban like this quite loosely. The starch will make it tighter as it dries BUT TIE IT STAIGHT ONTO YOUR HEAD. NO MINi-TURBAN BENEATH IT. JUST TIE YOUR FLATTENED JOORA ON TOP OF YOUR HEAD AND THE DASTAR DIRECTLY ON TOP Secure it with pins and wear it on your head until it has dried from the water you sprinkled before the pooni. After it has completely dried (give it around 3-4 hours just to make sure) you take it off your head DO NOT UNWRAP IT TAKE IT OFF IN IT'S SHAPE and the next time you need to wear you can just place it on your head over your flattened joora instead of tying this. You can do this for around 5 months after you first tied it until you have to ever tie it again.
    • I tie a Punjabi style dastar with starch. Why do people hate this so much? Once when I was tying my dastar my neck seized up and the apna doctor said staying in that position daily for more than 5 mins is dangerous. He recommended a starched pagg like his dad. And I respect my pagg more than my life. I put it on the top shelf of my cupboard whenever it isn't on my head, recite Waheguruji da naam whenever I am tying my joora, fifty and when i place the Dastar on my head and I mata thek and kiss  it before I do. And when I do tie it (every 4 months when the starch starts to weaken) I make sure that I pooni and tie it with much love and whilst reciting paath. I get that if someone treats their turban like a hat (eg: throwing it on the floor, cramping it or just disrespecting it) then this is unacceptable but just cos one puts their pagg on their head rather than tying it each time doesn't mean they treat it as such. (and let's be honest, starched or not we've all put our dad's pagg on our head like a hat when we were kids as a joke and meant no disrespect. Intention is everything). Ik Singhs who get angry tying their pagg and start doing maa/phen di gaaliyan, and when they take it off they just throw to the side and wait to tie it again next time. (Also, I'm from a Jat Sikh family so pls don't try to make this about "starched paggs are tarkhan/caste based" or anything stupid like that). PS: I do remember that stupidness in the 90s/early 2000s UK when Sikh men used to have a tiny starched paggs and were completely clean shaven or had a little goatee like Herbie Sahara/ Vijay from achanak. Now THAT was stupid and deserves all the hate but I just mean the concept of a starched dastar whether it's Punjabi Style, Kenyan style or whatever
