I am really stuck and dont know which way to go or who to ask.

Problem is that nearly all my life I have known that I was different.

I have always felt attracted to people of the same sex. I have only told my sister about me being gay and she just says that I should just make sure that i relly am

I know I am and have had 2 partners in the last few years.

Now the biggie is this......

My mom wants me to see this girl this weekend for marriage and to see if we are compatible.

Problem is that I have already seen half a dozen girls and just rejected them by making some excuse or other.

But this girl is absolutely faultless and nice. My auntie knows her really well and so do some friends.

They are all saying that we would make a nice couple and would be good for each other.

She is not amritdhari yet but all her family is. But I am already amritdhari and very confused.

I do like girls, but not in that way...............I know that I can only touch boys and can only imagine spending my life with a boy as a partner.

I just don't know who to tell and how to tell.

I tried telling my mum in a joking way, but she just took it as a joke thinking that i am just shyiing away from marriage.

I really need help...

please give some reasonable answers and don't criticise me for being a gay amritdhari sikh because nowhere does it say that you can't be gay and amritdhari, because before i had amrit I asked a respected elder if it was ok.

OH NO !!! :omg:

That elder that that advised you was ME !!! :stupidme: :stupidme:

I was only JOKING !!!

Seriously (sorry about that, i'm sure you've heard worse)

You need to decide what you really want in life.

This is not about sikhism, it's about your sexuality. But if you really want to spend your life with another sikh man, then you are bringing sikhism into it !!

I honestly can't say how many gay sikh men there are out there that want the same thing.

However I think there is some group of LGBT (lesbian gay bisexual tranvestite) that have sikh or punjabi members, but you will have to find and check into that.

You need to be forward with your family somehow ??

Because, if you don't tell them now and carry on seeing and rejecting girls, then it will make your parents look bad on your behalf.

Then when the world finds out, they will be even more upset and embarassed as well as angry.

Yes, they will most likely be angry because you didn't tell them sooner !

This is what really upsets our punjabi parents !

So tread carefully and think !

Marry the girl!!!

It's not good to be gay in Sikhi.It is written in bani.I'll find the tuk later.

I was going to say that, but isn't that unfair on the girl or should she be told before hand ''Look, I will marry you, but I might be Gay,so we may never have any physical relationship or kids!!!""????????

I haven't had an open deep discussion about approving gay singhs but as far as I do know, you have had 2 partners in the past right. If it is okay for a gay to have a relationahip then why is sikhi against 'normal girl/boyfrind' relationships. The 'LUST' is already there in one way or another. Im not going to take this stand that i am against gays, but i am definately against ANY pre-marital relationships, be it anything: girl&boy, boy&girl, girl&girl, boy& girl or whatever. Lust is lust. kaam is totally forbidden in sikhi. You might say 'no it is true love' but I find not acceptable if straight relationships are also not acceptable. It just doesn't make sense to me. its a bajar kurhet.

really sorry if i sound mean.

You can't destroy some girls life by marrying her and then having nothing to do with her !

You should may be ask your sister to tell your parents that you 'like batting for the opposition' or that 'your on the other bus!''

In the end they will be glad that you still told them even if they come across as annoyed at first.

Don't be surprised if your dad gives you a huge Thapparh on the head when he first learns.

Being prepared for their reactions may be beneficial for you in the long run.

I think I'm gonna make some excuse for not seeing this girl this weekend.

It's all too distresssin dude....

my sister knows because i told her but i dont think that she is convinced as i havent told anyone about my 2 partners that i had.

I pray and do ardas everyday for a solution to this,but i keep getting more problems and everone is always on about getting me married.

I know that lots of cousins are keen to get me fixed up because they all think that i'm good looking.

If only they really knew about what i really want.

I have thought about just getting married, but then I know that i will still be looking at and for other men or partners.

It just won't be fair on some poor woman.

I am absolutely sure about my sexuality because ive known since I was around 12 years old. Even though I tried to do path so that I may change, but it never happened instead i just got more and more convinced that i'm gay.

Just out of curiousity, I would like to ask a little question ! :tease:

When you were a child did you used to play with boys toys like 'Action man' figures, racing cars, matchbox cars,'wrestling figures'...etc... OR did you secretly play with your sisters Barbie and sindy dolls along with Ken ?? and then dress them up or keep changing their outfits...etc..????

I hope you don't mind answering, because I have seen a relative's little boy playing with dolls and I'm just being cautious !!

    • 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.  
    • Author Posted April 24   On 4/21/2025 at 2:43 PM, ipledgeblue said: sirr should not be nanga because keski is usually worn.   Sikhs can sleep nanga-sirr if they choose to . 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?
