You can be a minority because you live in a small state,
or because you are LGBT,
or because you are black,
or because you have a disability.
But the small-state kind of minority seems to be the only one who deserves electoral protection from tyranny of the majority. Oh what a coincidence then, that these minorities also happen to be mostly white, christian, and straight.

Would a register for who is LGBT be a good idea? Would you support laws and voting based on ethnic background and/or skin colour? Why do these ideas sound dangerous?
