Отклонение от стереотипа, гендерные/сексуальные меньшинства -- это да.

The problem with your logic starts when you try to think about other sexual minorities, like pedophiles, for example. In many countries pedophiles are outlaws and yet, according to your logic, they are norm and not more than a stereotype. How would you defend your position now?
It is only "обидное выражение" when people do not accept it but no matter how your sugarcoat it it wouldn't change the reality.

Gays are a deviation from norm but gays are acceptable in many societies because in general they bring no danger to the societies, same as heterosexuals(who are norm, because they are majority).
The biggest question is, if gays are accepted in a society, shouldn't they have all the social rights? It is hard question but the only logical conclusion is yes. However the level of acceptance in different societies is different and you can't change a society overnight. There are 76 countries in the world where being gay is punished by death, those countries should be the first to "fix". Unfortunately many of those countries are not highlighted in media, because of geopolitical reasons and Russia gets lots of blame, because of the same reasons.

В международной классификации болезней Всемирной Организации Здравоохранения до её 9 редакции включительно гомосексуальность классифицировалась как заболевание (302.0), относившееся к группе психосексуальных расстройств (psychosexual disorders) (302) (см. список List of ICD-9 codes 290—319: mental disorders)

https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Гомосексуальность

But now we know that those studies were wrong.
The link you posted does not prove your point of view, because you, yourself said that sexual minorities are norm and now you actually disapproving your words with that link

Педофилия нигде и никак не включается в список сексуальных/гендерных меньшинств. Это болезнь/психическое расстройство и реальная трагедия. Не будем здесь её обсуждать.

ok, let's not to use the actual word pedophilia but let's check the definition of sexual minorities.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_minority

Others referred to as "sexual minorities" include fetishists and practitioners in of BDSM.[7] The term may also include asexuals[8][9] and people who may be strictly heterosexual and whose choice of actual sex acts may be vanilla, but whose choice of partner or partners is atypical, such as swingers (although this is debated),[10] polyamorists[11] or people in other nonmonogamous relationships, people who strongly prefer sex partners of a disparate age[12] or people who engage in mixed race relationships.

I highlighted a controversial phrase for you.
Now a question for you, if there are people who would only prefer sex with people who are 30-40 years younger then them should we call it a norm, a divination from norm or physiological disorder. That's a question number one.
A second question. There are nonmonogamous relationships in the world, in some countries it's legal in some it is not, the question is, shouldn't those people have the same social rights as anybody else?
And finally third question. There are people who practice polyamory (i.e. free love) should their sexual views be widely spread and accepted in society and should those people have the same social rights as anybody else?

I'm eager to hear your answers.

It's all off-topic.

who gets to decide?

Usually, lawfully elected lawmakers get to decide. Some Muslim countries allow polygamy and this does not create problems with other countries that do not allow it. But Chechnya is a part of Russia. Russia fought long and hard not to let it break away and create a separate independent state.
Doesn't Russia have a law prohibiting bigamy? If it does than this marriage is unlawful and the man should be incarcerated. If Russia does not have this law then there is no problem.
I am not an expert on Russian law. You tell me, if there is such a law and was the law broken or not.
This is a quote from Wikipedia:

Polygamous marriages are not recognized in the Russian Federation. The Family Code of Russia states that a marriage can only be contracted between a man and a woman, neither of whom is married to someone else.[1] Furthermore, Russia does not recognize polygamous marriages that had been contracted in other countries.

Russia does have a law prohibiting polygamy it also does have a law prohibiting gay marriages.
Some countries allow gay marriages but do not allow polygamy.
Somehow Russia gets all the boos for not allowing gay marriages but at the same time openly gay countries do not have any blame for not allowing polygamy. Looks like a hypocrisy, considering that gays and polygamists are both sexual minorities.

Russia has a law prohibiting gay marriages and gets banished by Western press for not allowing it
Russia has a law prohibiting polygamy and gets banished by Western press for?

Banished from where?

Не думаю, что полигамы или педофилы могут рассматриваться как гендерные меньшинства. Меньшинства - да, но не гендерные, а девиантные. (Конечно, полигамы и педофилы не должны быть в одном ряду, но я поставила их рядом для простоты изложения).

Вот, например, есть список гендерных меньшинств: https://www.pcc.edu/resources/illumi...nd-handout.pdf

it's an inside joke, don't pay attention to it.

BTW there is a list of sexual minorities on Wiki and I copied part of that list here, I don't see a point of changing that list because that would undermine the whole topic and our moderator just can't wait to close it.
