Can you speak on the new phenomenon in the United States of Gay marriage which has been legalized?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:
Why do you want to draw me into a controversy? I feel marriage is an individual thing, and whatever an individual feels or likes, is to be respected. Individual’s choice should be respected. God accepts you and respects your choice, and that’s why he gives you a choice. Otherwise he would have not even given you a choice. So I think we must respect an individual’s choice as long as it doesn’t harm the society. We can’t say the same thing in the case of a terrorist who wants to gun down everybody -- we can’t say that God has given him that choice, no!
