Malaysia is well known to the world audience as a multicultural nation and a country dominated by religious beliefs, including religions such as Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism and Taoism. However, over the years, Malaysia has been doing its rounds in the papers for its strict rules over the denial of human rights for the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) community. In 2015, Malaysia’s ex–Prime Minister Najib Razak openly declared his take on the LGBT community by equating them to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and claiming that both are ‘enemies of Islam’. Whereas Islamic religious authorities have made clear their stance on LGBT communities, the Malaysian Consultative Council on Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Sikhism and Taoism (MCCBCHST) has taken a much-blanketed approach on the matter. The group is against any violent attack against, harassment or intimidation of and threat to the LGBT community, but the very essence of this stand is oxymoronic, as they have not done anything to prevent such incidents from taking place either. Sikhism has a liberal perspective on acceptance, regarding aspects such as gender, race, ethnicity and age, to name a few, that one would interpret it is an LGBT-friendly religion. Hence, this article is a humble attempt at understanding the Malaysian Sikh youths’ perspectives on the ever-growing branches of sexual identity. This article will add to the literature on Sikhs’ attitudes towards homosexuality, especially in Southeast Asia.

马来西亚锡克教徒青年对不同性身份的看法

马来西亚是一个多元文化的国家,在世界范围内广为人知,是一个以宗教信仰为主导的国家,其中包括伊斯兰教,基督教,佛教,印度教,锡克教和道教等宗教。但是,这些年来,马来西亚一直在针对其对LGBT(女同性恋,男同性恋,双性恋和变性者)社区剥夺人权的严格规定进行严格的规定。2015年,马来西亚前总理纳吉布·拉扎克(Najib Razak)公开宣布他加入LGBT社区,将其等同于伊拉克和叙利亚伊斯兰国(ISIS),并宣称两者都是“伊斯兰教的敌人”。伊斯兰宗教当局已明确表示对LGBT社区的立场,而马来西亚佛教,基督教,印度教,锡克教和道教协商委员会(MCCBCHST)在此问题上采取了大胆的态度。该团体反对对LGBT社区的任何暴力袭击,骚扰或恐吓和威胁,但这种立场的实质是矛盾的,因为他们也未采取任何措施来防止此类事件的发生。锡克教对于接受,在性别,种族,族裔和年龄等方面持宽容态度,仅举几例,人们会认为这是对LGBT友好的宗教。因此,本文是对了解马来西亚锡克教徒青年人对性认同不断增长的观点的谦虚尝试。本文将增加有关锡克教徒对同性恋的态度的文献,特别是在东南亚。因为他们也没有采取任何措施来防止此类事件的发生。锡克教对于接受,在性别,种族,族裔和年龄等方面持宽容态度,仅举几例,人们会认为这是对LGBT友好的宗教。因此,本文是对了解马来西亚锡克教徒青年人对性认同不断增长的观点的谦虚尝试。本文将增加有关锡克教徒对同性恋的态度的文献,特别是在东南亚。因为他们也没有采取任何措施来防止此类事件的发生。锡克教对于接受,在性别,种族,族裔和年龄等方面持宽容态度,仅举几例,人们会认为这是对LGBT友好的宗教。因此,本文是对了解马来西亚锡克教徒青年人对性认同不断增长的观点的谦虚尝试。本文将增加有关锡克教徒对同性恋的态度的文献,特别是在东南亚。本文是对了解马来西亚锡克教徒青年对性认同不断增长的观点的谦虚尝试。本文将增加有关锡克教徒对同性恋的态度的文献,特别是在东南亚。本文是对了解马来西亚锡克教徒青年对性认同不断增长的观点的谦虚尝试。本文将增加有关锡克教徒对同性恋的态度的文献,特别是在东南亚。
