> Just because a state’s population is lower doesn’t mean their needs are less important. > Would you apply a similar standard to the LGBT community? They are approximately 7% of the population. You're mixing up rights and voting. The LGBT community doesn't get to pass or veto any laws. A person has rights. A state is not a person. Corporations are not people, my friend. I don't believe in the concept of state's rights, so I don't accept the analogy. A state is just an arbitrary set of lines on a map. It doesn't have needs. In the case of voting, I think the majority should decide rather than the minority, otherwise it's not really democratic. If the 7% LGBT community ruled the country, that would also be a tyranny, not a democracy.
