GUR FATEH JIO!
I HAVE READ A FEW POSTS ON HOMOSEXUALITY ETC AMONGST SIKHS AND ITS A SUBJECT THAT IS DEBATED BY ALL FAITHS. IT HAS TO BE SAID ITS A TOPIC THAT MOST SIKHS I KNOW REGARD AS UNWORTHY OF DEBATE. MANY SIKHS ADOPT A "BURY YOUR HEAD IN THE SAND AND HOPE THE TOPIC GOES AWAY" APPROACH ! lol!!!
BY THE WAY DASS IS A PRACTICING HETROSEXUAL & HAPPILY MARRIED WITH 4 KIDS!!(IN CASE PEOPLE THINK I HAVE A VESTED INTEREST IN THE TOPIC)
THE FOLLOWING IS MY OWN HUMBLE AND PERHAPS MISGUIDED VIEW AND THATS THE REASON FOR THE POST! IF I AM WRONG PLEASE CORRECT ME AND DO SO WITH GURBANI PLEASE.
I WOULD LIKE TO ASK MY LEARNED BROTHERS & SISTERS ABOUT THE SIKH / GURMAT VIEW OF THE FOLLOWING:
DOES THE SOUL HAVE A GENDER ? DOES IT MEAN THAT A SOUL CAN TRANSMIGRATE TO A MALE OR FEMALE FORM? MY OWN VIEW IS THAT THE SOUL DOES NOT HAVE A GENDER AND THAT WHEN IT TAKES "BIRTH" IN A MALE/FEMALE BODY IT SIMPLY COMPLIES WITH THAT BODY'S BIOLOGICAL OR INSTINCTIVE NEEDS SUCH AS A NEED / ATTRACTION FOR A "MATE" (MALE OR FEMALE)
IS THERE ANYTHING IN GURBANI THAT TELLS US ABOUT GENDER OF THE SOUL?
IF THE ESSENCE OF SIKHI IS ABOUT REUNITING THE SOUL WITH THE CREATOR THROUGH SEVA,SIMRAN,& SANGAT DOES SEXUAL ORIENTATION MATTER?
I HAVE HEARD THE ARGUMENT ABOUT SEX AND SEXUALITY SHOULD ONLY BE USED FOR PROCREATION (MAKING BABIES) BUT COME ON VEERS/BHAN JI'S LETS FACE IT IS THAT REALLY THE REALITY AMONGST "MARRIED" COUPLES EVEN RELIGIOUS ONES?
I HUMBLY APOLOGISE IF I HAVE CAUSED OFFENCE, THIS NOT MY INTENTION JUST LIKE TO DEBATE ONCE IN A WHILE AND TO LEARN!
