that is not accurate. a democracy majority rules in who hold office. it has nothing to do with street crime. and if it was true that the idea was to protect against the majority, then white hetero men would not still be in charge almost exclusively. and LGBTQ2 would have gotten rights decades ago
that meme makes it sound like the democrat party will take your bike while the republican party will let you keep it…

The DeepMind paper published earlier this month strikes a similar tone. “Given the historical oppression and contemporary challenges faced by queer communities, there is a substantial risk that artificial intelligence (AI) systems will be designed and deployed unfairly for queer individuals,” the paper reads.
The paper considers a number of ways AI can be used to target queer people or impact them negatively in areas like free speech, privacy, and online abuse. Another recent study found shortcomings for people who identify as nonbinary when it comes to AI for fitness tech like the Withings smart scale.
On social media platforms, automated content moderation systems can be used to censor content classified as queer, while automated online abuse detection systems are often not trained to protect transgender people from intentional instances of misgendering or “deadnaming.”
