N30 singh, I’ve been reading SA.com for sometime, but I’ve never posted or even registered until I saw this topic. My gurbani knowledge stops at japji sahib and ardass, so I will not comment on what gurbani has to say about this. But the fact that EVERY gurdawra in the GTA along with the akal thakth is against means there has to be something. I’m not testing your gurbani knowledge because I know your very intelligent in regards to this topic. As far as Ruby Dhalla and Nav Bains, I think both of them won because of the HEAVY sikh volunteer support they got. Before they make a decision I think they should have consulted with their constituents or even ask for guidance from the same sangat they ask for help from. Nav Bains is a Gurmukh Sikh, and all the power to him for that. But keeping that point in mind, Nav Bains I think should consult his constituents as an MP and seek guidance from the sangat that worked day and night for him. I think he is making a selfish decision with this to benefit himself. Ruby Dhalla has admitted she is for this in a Punjabi Newspaper, (I think Hamdard). I don’t know why you would love to see a gay marriage in a Gurdawara because I think that is one of the most shameful things to present in front of the sangat or Guru Granth Sahib. Your Right its not about religious marriage now, but its sure paving the road 10-20 years from now. And Nav Bains does not represent the sikh community at large, but he is out 1st amritdhari sikh in office. He does have to be accountable to his volunteers and voters because he did win with the largest margin of votes in the past election and that was because he had the sympathy of Sikhs and Punjabis at large. For him to take all the support and not consult his riding or constituents before such a major decision is wrong.

Funny thing is that Ruby Dhalla was running her mouth on punjabi radio and TV saying shes "sikhya de Kurri" and how thats why we should help her. IF Sam Hundal won instead of her he would be against this same sex stuff forsure. I'm not 100% sure about this but I think Ujjal Dosonjh was at the election office opening for Nav Bains. Thats surprising knowing that Nav Bains comes from a WSO familybackground which is very Pro-khalistani. And having a Hater like Dosanjh at the office opening is sad. Malhi knows his political career is ending and even if he gets in trouble with the party he knows he'll be in favour of the sangat for taking this stance. I would't bet my money on Nav Bains or Dhalla to hold on to their seat in the next election.

i think the Jatehdar passed the Hukanama without any serious discussion with the panth like N30 said. I am 100% against changing the traditional definition of marriage. Although the party is saying that this is a civil issue and not a religious one, this paves the road for gays to have marriages in churches and gurdawaras 15 years from now. I think Nav Bains and Ruby Dhalla are both sell outs and just want to move up party ranks. No comment about Ujjal Dosanjh because he’s a bhamin washed ******that already got his ass kicked by Khalistani’s so I don’t expect him to listen to the akal thakth regardless.
