The article by Jasbir Singh (Homosexuality and Sikhism, July 23) was more like a personal statement. We as Sikhs have to remember that Guru Nanak was against
deviant behavior like "Vam Panthi" who drank, used narcotics and believed in satisfying all the urges.

I don't have the exact reference with me, but it is quite commonly known that when Guru Arjan was collecting the poetries of the Muslim Sufi Saints for Guru Granth Sahib, then one famous Sufi Shah Hussain's (who was gay) collection was rejected because Guru didn't want to condone his behavior, which hey professed in his writing.

I think Jasbir Singh has a personal issue and he has to find a solution through his own efforts. His attempt to exaggerate his personal likes and to categorize the community into sections that he believes in is blatantly wrong.
