Is It A Sin To Be Gay in Hinduism? 

You wouldn't think that if you see the narrative propagated by lgbt community in India. Stuff like "rainbow over saffron" doesn't make any sense but they are hellbent on propagating hindus hate homosexuals.

I wish my mom was like that. Im lesbian, but when I asked my mom if I were to love a girl, she said she would kick me out of the house. And I have observed she thinks being gay is weird. I haven't told her yet, but im scared to. Im glad that you have such a welcoming mom. God bless you

@@lluv_kuro oh my thank you. I'm not sure of my sexuality, but I have my doubts that I might be Bisexual... there is this girl in my class.....I really like her but I'm not sure if it's platonic or romantic.... and I hope one day yur mom accepts you as what you are. Maybe when you are an adult. Even if she doesn't it won't matter anyways once you are grown up and can sustain yourself.

Cool

You are a heretic

@@Kai-bq6jf lmfao

Same but lesbian

same boat shall be taken

Hindus on the other hand is more of an iffy balance. 50/50.

@@__Jesus_is_God__ the cast system in the scriptures was used to show how everyone has a set of skills and based on their set of skills there are certain jobs that they can do best. It was a way to explain to someone what their dharma is. There was no restriction between doing tasks of different casts, but sadly some people misinterpreted and spread false information to people which is why people view the cast system like this.

Not only Hinduism but being Gay is allowed in Christian and many more.

Truly Amazing!!!! I just wanted to know whether the lgbtq+ community in india is against hindu culture cuz i came across some images which showed people marching with slogans such as queer against hindutva etc. Pls share ur thoughts. 🙌🙌

Question what does your religion practice and do I'm thinking about converting because I'm LGBTQ and looking for a new religion

@@shibainu8747 it is true that people in India still think of the LGBTQ community as something taboo and against Hinduism but many people especially the past few years have become more accepting. The extreme Hindutva side still speak against gay relationships and that it’s against Hinduism but they don’t have a say anymore.

@@cake1186 For me, my religious practice is doing meditation, reading the Bhagavad Gita, and praying to a god or goddess (which is any deity that you feel most comfortable with). I also practice yoga which praying to a deity is called devotional worship (Bhakti yoga).

I have immense respect and devotion for "shiva", shiva is unbiased he accepts everyone and considers every equally, shiva doesn't have luxury he resides in forest, those who get expelled from the society gets sheltered by shiva, And if shiva picks your hand , shiva never abandon you ever 🙏🙏🙏 Har har mahadev

Thx u for your Explanation , Im a Bisexual ex Muslim from Indonesia 🙏😇

Duhh wtf There is nothing written about LGBTQ+ in Islam

@@hansel.2105 stay strong I am hindu from india we love you You are same like us ❤️

YES Dharmaic religions are meant to help ppl find their peace and purpose through understanding and sentimental meditations whereas Abrahamic religions were made in fear and the thought that no one is deserving so u MUST worship their deity otherwise ur useless bc u started off having no purpose (I definitely prefer dharmic religions :) )

Actually Hindu texts do mention the LGBTQ+, but more in a positive and accepting manner. It is considered to be completely natural to be queer. There are multiple deities who represent the LGBTQ+ for example Narada, the messenger deity who is transgender. Also in Islam they are not taught to kill them, its just awful representation, in the Islamic religion its alright to be queer but not sexually, it's considered sodomy in Abrahamic religions which is against their beliefs.

Wow, that’s a really long time. It’s odd that after all that time, some people still falsely think homosexuality was mentioned in the Vedas let alone it being a sin. Thank you for sharing.

@@PoweredByRainbows no in ancient India people didn't care about religion. We have lot of LGBT persons in our mythology. But sad part is today's Hindus lost their values. It's not Hindus only. Indian society became like that.Society should accept them . I think it will take long time.since india is not developed 😓

@@gamehacker2801 true

@Peter Griffin fornthe very least let me give you a verse from the veda which talk of a "magestic flowing river flowing from the himalayas to the arabian sea." That river is the now dried up "Saraswati" River. Recent geological studies on 369 locations along the dried river bed has confirmed that the river had dried up around 9000 BCE so clearly if not the entire vedas, but atleast many parts of the vedas that mention this majestic river, we're created before that date. What you have read was colonial propaganda of the British trying to proove that Indian civilizatiln was not older that the Biblical timespan of 6000 years.

@@gamehacker2801 agree. It probably started because of Islamic invasions, but times are changing rapidly

Yes bro ! Very true . A lot of people don’t know this but in certain parts of India, we term trans people as Gods and call them at all the ceremonies for blessings

Vedas doe's not mention homosexuality anywhere

@@aaryapathak2669 because soul is not gay nor straight...body doesn't matter soul matters

Dude I'm so sorry! In hinduism it's actually chill to be gay. I hope your hindu parents understand this soon! All the best. May you live a happy life!

They don’t understand that your sexuality is not an option, you should have no regrets. Live your life and do what you think is right I respect you.

@ශ්‍රී ලංකා Rocks Absolutely correct bro! We are still under the hangover of British colonisation. We should revive our culture so our LGBTQ people can be safe as per HINDUISM.

Beautiful I’m so sry

Do you know from last few months, when I heard about a incident in South India related to LGBTQ will election. An Idea striked my that there is so much reservation in India but not for LGBTQ community. And no one is standing for it

Thank you girl, you cute. I’m cute as hell too, lmao

Same goes for me Being a straight person I never felt anything wrong in homosexuality It just two people in love I also have heard straight people saying nonsense about homosexual people Like "How will they make babies" And other bullshits.. Such narrow minded people

Same here

🙌 I have seen my own parents listening to my beliefs & even they are acceptable to learn more rather than having rigid mind. Yes it takes lot of efforts but it’s worth it.

Yaa and that too without conversions haha

@@geodharma-economicsfinance3462 💀😂yeah 👍 brother wait few years their will be more

Question what does your religion practice I'm thinking about converting? I'm lgbtq+ and looking for a good religon

@@cake1186 I mean the best way to convert is to practice it like try reading the Bhagavad Gita it is a very nice book and story about Lord Krishna, you can also visit some Hindu Temples and practice there, practicing in Temples is actually very simple and friendly and I'm sure u will be welcomed, there is no something called Baptism like needed, I promise you will love the people there because they are very friendly and chill. And Hinduism has so many opportunities you can take. In the end it would be amazing.

@@cake1186 as a hindu bi girl, I definietly reccomend hinduism or Buddhism, basically un-abrahamic religons.

Me too sis🙌

Same

Agreed. But gays are respected always at least in my family. Whenever there's a marriage or a child is born, people pay money to the gay community any ask them to bless the bride/groom/the child. They believe that they hold devine power.

Naaah Hinduism's ideology towards LGBTQ hasn't changed. It's just that indian society treats it as a taboo because of the British.

It's because of rule of two Abrahamic cults
