Hello,
I am working on a novel about youth. It takes place in Toronto, Canada and one of the themes I want to explore is the intersection of values of parents from other countries originally and their children who were born in the West. I hope to have a character who is a Sikh male teenager who is questioning his sexual identity. I have spoken with a friend of mine from the Sikh community but I want to broaden my knowledge. Would any forum members be willing and able to help me understand some of the particular challenges and supportive factor that someone of Sikh background may experience if they want to live an openly gay lifestyle. I really do not want to be uninformed culturally and will probably not write the character if I am so any help would be much appreciated.
thanks a lot,
Sincerely, Justin
