Think of the minority children.

Think of the LGBT children who may want to speak to a safe and established community / therapist confidentially about problems in an abusive household which rejects them for what they are.

Think about all the children who may need counselling during the COVID-19 outbreak who do not need secrecy from family but can't physically attend and don't want strangers peeking in.

By adding minority you unfortunately just made it into a partisan vs a bipartisan issue.

You can make it work the other way too.

"Think of the children that want to embrace $RELIGION but happen to live in a den of $DEITYless liberals."

"Think of the children afraid to express conservative views online because of a lack of privacy protections."
