If democracy relies on a consensus of what is “normal” than it has no possibility of surviving and probably shouldn’t. If democracy has a feature worth keeping at all, it is a shared functional definition of rights that we honor whether the other person or people seem “normal” or not. Our votes are not agreement. They are consensus.
