Historically, some cultures and religions accommodated, institutionalized, or revered, same-sex love and sexuality;[7][8] such mythologies and traditions can be found around the world.[9] For example, Hinduism does not view homosexuality as a religious sin.[10] In 2009, the Hindu Council UK released the statement "Hinduism does not condemn homosexuality".[11] Sikh wedding ceremonies are non-gender specific, and so same-sex marriage is possible within Sikhism.[12]
