Gay Marriage Legalized In California- How Should Sikhs Feel About This?

[ekgurjaskhalsa]

Gay marriage is legalized in California. How should Sikhs feel about this?

I am confused. I feel happy for them that they are getting equal rights.After all, we as Sikhs have to see everyone equally.

On the other hand, what if a gay couple wants to do Anand Karaj? It is not allowed in Sikhi..

Marriage is contract of conveinence Gay or hetro. Please do not get GOD or Sikhi involved in it. GOD does not care if we marry or not.

Sri Akal Takht Sahib has already clearly forbidden same sex marriages.

Its a matter of free will of 2 people to whatever they want. Sri Akal takht Shib is a body formed by informed Sikhs by INDIA standards just like us. They are the same people who gave Badal Panth Rattan Fakhr-e-Qaum title.

Ki farakh pehnda bhai.

Lapard maar ke kisse da "gay" tan ni kad sagde. Jeeyoun deyo ehna nu, avain pange vich na payou ehna de vich. Panth da kam hor bathera peya karan waala.

Respect Akaal Takhat's hukam that Anand Karaj should be according to Gurmat, not our own preferences and we have no problem.

- Anand Karaj for Gay/Lesbians/Homo sexuals? Hell No...need to uphold traditional sanctity of anand karaj (between man and woman) otherwise reverse precedence will be set and everyone will be walking over maryada.

- What other solution other than segragation and being put off from mainstream sikhi? Give them chaplain/gyani service which would bless them by reciting mool mantar, take vows individualy to walk path of sikhi regardless of their sexual preference and they are encouraged just like everyone else come to gurdwara- have darshan of maharaj, do seva, join sadh sangat.

- Is this homosexuality an hindrance to meet god? It depends, its just a relationship with other person due to some mental/chemical imbalance reaction in body, same type of hindrances any other regular couple would have like- kaam, krodh, lob, moh, ahankar..!!

Please don't take above as gospel truth thats only my opnion or view, i hope to strike a right balance approach by looking at things from all angles and gurbani updesh is for everyone and every one can take laha of gurbani..many hardcore sinners (theifs, murderers, cannibal, molestors, rapist etc) have became saints after sangat by reading, listening, singing gurbani and here we are only talking about someone have preference of same sex in relationship.

I don't really care what anyone says but there is no way that 2 blokes are going to be doing anand karaj in your local gurdwara !!

Call me old fashioned or not with the times but ''it ain't happening in my lifetime mate!'' :wow:

I know you get all these forward talking 'In with the times' people claiming ''I don't have no problem with gays'' or '' good luck to them for legalizing ay marriage''.....etc..

BUT, when the crunch comes and it's their OWN KID, then the story changes and the tables turn!

It's OK if it's someone else kid but it can Never be your own !!!

I don't have the right to complain about their rights or demands because as a Sikh I shouldn't be discriminating or judging against other beings.

The Gurus tried to abolish the caste system and the class of 'untouchables'.

In this day and age some of us see gays as the new untouchables, therefore I have to be careful how I tread on this issue.

At the end of the day, we can't keep it taboo but then again we can't be watching anand karaj with 1 gay holding the pallah of the other.

Therefore being gay is always and still going to be seen as some sort of deficiency because man-man and woman-woman cannot procreate for future generations.

Sorry if I offend some of you, but I am being perfectly honest of what I feel.

It 's not happening in my family whilst I remain alive :nono: !!

Indians have procreated itself into nothing but Guinness book of world record of procreation.
