Don't think he is referring to Guru Amar Das Ji. Amar Singh is his name, seems like he is just dressed as some sadh "guru"

Bro sikhs don't have ownership over the word "guru" the word has been around for much longer than Sikhi has been.

That changes it all, if true. Common for these people too attack religion. Dressing up as jesus during gay pride parades. Tolerence to a lot of them only means tolerating gays, nothing else.

What is the relevance of him being gay? Would it be OK if he wasn't gay? What hes doing regardless of his sexual orientation shows that he lives in his racist bubble. We should not be responding by showing we live in a homophobic bubble. There is a chance that he's baiting a particular response and we're walking right into it and losing all credibility at the outset.

He should simply be called out for being ignorant, immature, and a clichéd racist.

We also have to be dynamic and a step ahead in dealing with these things. We (not you OP or posters here) have a tendency to simply be up in arms amongst ourselves at every instance of insult.

We are gifted with laughing in the face of death. Surely social media won't hurt us. We bring equilibrium or justice from a place of calm power not offended sensitivities.

Trace the sources. You are correct, attempt to educate this person. If that does not work who is his employer? Who are his Facebook supporters? These people and their superficial circles fear bad economics amongst other things. I'm sure we can get their attention in numerous ways to re think what is funny.

You're probably going to get him all excited with the attention.

I think he's done this for exactly that purpose.

Batty bwoy.

Guy wants attention > tries to be controversial > offends followers of a religion > can cry about being bullied by intolerant, bearded religious types because he's gay.

The gay aspect, as buddasingh points out, is irrelevant. Highlight the blasphemy not his sexuality.

The biggest problem was that you mentioned he was "gay", (if you say that it makes us look intolerant to gays, please delete that part so we can sensibly talk about what the Canadians should do about this).
