When you talk about oppressed groups, here are some of the characteristics in political science terms.
*The oppressed group makes up a numerical minority of the population in the nation they reside in.
*Faces persistent discrimination and violence from the majority population
*Has minuscule or no political representation at the local, state or federal legislative level
Doesn't that sound like the description fits a certain part of the GLBT family?
