ਸਮਲਿੰਗੀ ਵਿਆਹ ਦੇ ਸਮਰਥਕ ਸਿੱਖਾਂ ਅੱਗੇ ਸਵਾਲ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਜੇ ਕੱਲ ਨੂੰ ਕੋਈ ਸਿੱਖ ਬੀਬੀਆਂ ਯਾ ਕਾਕੇ ਸਮਲਿੰਗੀ ਵਿਆਹ ਕਰਵਾਉਣ ਗੁਰਦੁਆਰਾ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਅਨੰਦ ਕਾਰਜ ਲਈ ਆਉਣ ਤਾਂ ਕੀ ਉਹਨਾਂ ਦਾ ਵਿਆਹ ਹੋ ਸਕਦਾ ਹੈ? ਜੇ ਹੋ ਸਕਦਾ ਹੈ ਤਾਂ ਕੀ ਉਹ ਮਰਿਆਦਾ ਦੇ ਅਧੀਨ ਮੰਨਿਆ ਜਾਵੇਗਾ?

ਜਿਸ ਤਰਾਂ ਇਹ ਵਿਆਹ ਹਿੰਦੂ ਰਸਮਾਂ ਨਾਲ ਹੋ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ, ਕਲ ਨੂੰ ਇਹ ਸਵਾਲ ਸਿੱਖ ਰੀਤੀ ਰਿਵਾਜਾਂ ਵੱਲ ਵੀ ਆ ਸਕਦਾ ਹੈ....

Sikhism has no specific teachings about homosexuality. The holy scripture of Sikhs, Guru Granth Sahib Ji, does not explicitly mention homosexuality; however, married life is encouraged time and time again in Guru Granth Sahib Ji. Whenever marriage is mentioned, it is always in reference to a man and a woman.

Guru Granth Sahib Ji is the complete guide to life and salvation. Some Sikhs believe that if a marriage between two of the same sexes is not mentioned, it is therefore not right. The counterargument is that, marriage is mentioned as a spiritual unity and since the soul does not have a gender, homosexuality should be permitted. The counterargument again arises that spiritual unity in marriage is only mentioned between a man and a woman. Since sexuality with the same gender is not directly mentioned in Guru Granth Sahib Ji, Sikhism’s stand on homosexuality is derived from other beliefs such as marriage and sex.

Since marriage is only mentioned as a spiritual relationship between a man and a woman in Guru Granth Sahib Ji, same sex marriages are not conducted in |GUrdwara Sahib. Only the services that are clearly permitted are conducted in the Gurdwara Sahib.
Sikh Gurus introduced a lifestyle with which one remains focused in life in order to be one with God. Homosexuality is not a part of the lifestyle instructed by Sikh Gurus. And nor is having premarital sex or having multiple sex partners if you are a heterosexual. According to Sikh lifestyle, sexual relationship is to only exist between a man and a woman married in the Gurdwara Sahib.

Since sexual relationship can only be after marriage and marriage can only be between a man and a woman, homosexual lifestyle is logically not accepted by Sikh beliefs.

Sikhism does not hate or believe that homosexuals are damned to hell. Gurbani tells us that God is without hatred and animosity. We are all children of God. Gurudwara sahib is open to all, no matter who they are or what kind of lifestyle they live. God loves everyone regardless of one’s thoughts or actions. Homosexuals are free to attend the Gurdwara Sahib and participate in church services.

Sikhism is more concerned with ones attainment of enlightenment rather than habitual desires such as sexuality. Views on homosexuality tend not to be a primary concern in Sikh teachings, as the universal goal is to overcome sexual desires all together. Sikhs are not to have hate or animosity to any person, regardless of race, caste, color, creed, gender, or sexuality.

The Guru Granth Sahib does not mention homo-
sexuality. However, the ten living Gurus were
aware of homosexuality at the time that the Guru
Granth Sahib was compiled as there were a num-
ber of openly gay saints during the 16th and 17th
Centuries in the Indian Subcontinent.
One openly gay saint is Sarmad, who was a fol-
lower of Mian Mir, the Muslim Pir who is believed
to have laid the foundation stone of the Hari-
mandir Sahib (Golden Temple), the most important
of Sikh gurdwaras, in 1588.
If the ten living Gurus believed homosexuality to
be sinful, then they would have addressed the
subject within the Guru Granth Sahib, and the fact
that it has been ignored suggests that the Gurus
considered it to be inconsequential because the
primary function of dharma is to unite the individ-
ual soul which is genderless with the supreme soul
which is also genderless.
The Lavaan are non-gender specific, and so same-
sex marriage is possible within Sikh Dharma.
