The five that we can not abide by Not one of them mentions Queer existence.

They say I cannot be a Queer Sikh As if they sat across the table withGuru Ji. They quote people against homosexuality Never once uttering the name of ourGuru Ji.

B a s i c a l l y Queer existence is allowed in Sikhi Because co-existence in Sikhi is a thing. Those who believe that it is not Need to read the entireSri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

EvenBhagat Khabeersays it does not Matter if your head is shaved or If your hair is long, Never once making visible appearance A mandatory thing to be a person ofPramathma.

The gurus carefully chose The pieces that they hoped Would make us all better Sikhs When they established theSri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

Fighters of freedom Defenders of the oppressed Always acting out of righteousness and love Aiming to bless bless bless.
