Some people told me the other day that gay marriage is a disgrace for the institution of marriage and a disgrace for Sikhism.
I had to tell them forcing people into marriages and indirectly forcing people into marriages of convenience is a real disgrace as it is nothing else but a MOCkery of marriage wich is a disgrace in any religion or culture.
I was really upset as i can't stand injustice and hypocrisy.
What do you think about the subject?

You're absolutely right. And those idiots know nothing. Don't they know that our religion is accepting of people but no for most sikhs it's not. Most sikhs are conservative, full of caste prejudice, religious prejudice and so on. There is nothing against gay marriage in the Granth and anyone who tells you is insane.

Firstly, GURU Granth Sahib Ji - Guru Ji is not something you pick off from your book shelf. Whatever your opinions on Sikhism might be, there is one bit of common ground that all Sikhs, gay or straight, can agree on, and that is that Guru Granth Sahib Ji IS Guru, and that appropriate respect should be accorded.
Secondly, on the issue of gay marriage and MOCs, I agree that its sad that gay marriage is not accepted by our community. It is cultural issue rather than a religious issue. I think to ask or expect the Sikh community to jump from abhorring gay marriage to accepting it is probably a leap to far, however desirable. A sensible and realistic step in the right direction would be to not force or put pressure on gay Sikhs to get married. To this end, I think we're moving in the right direction. The changes we're looking for are generational. Our parents' generation is more accepting and tolerant of children making their own choices. I think we have a way to go before gay marriage is accepted, or is even performed in any sort of public ceremony, but change of this sort happens in small increments.

I can empathise with those who would prefer to settle for a MOC. However, that doesn't mean that what they're doing is right by even spiritual laws. Marriage is meant to be a unique bond between two people who love each other. (Although divorce rates may prove otherwise.) Nonetheless, why blemish something that is meant to be divine?  x |
