If Sikhs Were Forced To Marry Gay Couples?

[MisterrSingh]

Sex within hetero marriage can also (does more often then not) lead to us straying from the path described as "khandeo tikhi, valo niki".

Yes this would seriously clash with social norms of today... but the path to Waheguru only gets tougher if we judge what is acceptable by comparing against what the rest of the 'civilised' world accepts.

I knew a very decent Gursikh lad who got married. He was of the opinion that sexual relations outside of the need to beget children was off limits. Unfortunately, his Singhni didn't see it that way and she left him after 10 months, citing the usual, "He never touched me." You just can't win with some people! What can you do in a situation like that? If one side has a sexual appetite that needs to be satiated on a regular basis, whilst the other has one eye on the bigger picture, then what's to be done? It's hardly the kind of question you can ask the vichole to pose, can you?

Sorry, what's a vichole?

Guru sahib prohibited very little, but have told us sex to satisfy kaam(lust)/moh(attachment) only strengthens humkar (sense of 'I'). It is clear what the gurmat answer is here. Its up to each of us decide what acts to prohibit.

If the sexual relationship is for procreation its an action with greater purpose and wouldn't be considered kaam/moh.

To answer ur question plainly because homosexual sex can't lead to procreation and the point of it can only be kaam or moh, therefore it isnt gurmat.

Would you be opposed to gay marriage if both agreed to not engage in sexual relations- just curious?

its tough mate, we have to look to guru sahib to guide us in such situations.. I wouldnt advise on such matters as I would be a bad example to follow.

The only point I make is that we cant try to bend gurusahibs message to airbrush the hard to digest truth.. We'd only be kidding ourselves.

im opposed to gay anand karaj full stop. A

dont get me wrong I dont judge homosexuals engaged in sex or not.. I see/treat them the same as a heteros. But I believe the anand karaj has only been approved by guru sahibs for a hetero union.

Yeah, can't disagree with that at all. Most we can do is put it down as a lesson learnt and move on.

Same sex couple - no offspring

No offspring = nature unbalance

Guru sahib ji would never allow things that is against natural balance.

What about low fertility rates?

How do you know there's gonna be a natural unbalance? Is having only one kid or three wrong for a couple by that logic?
