Well, while we're evaluating the editorial, I would like to lodge an
objection to the reference to totalitarian majoritarianism.   While I
suppose the two are not definitionally in conflict, has any majoritarian
state been totalitarian in world history?  At least in modernity?

I suppose we all use a little hyperbole in editorializing, but I suspect
majoritarian states have been a lot better for gay rights than
nonmajoritarian states.
