Should we prioritise the LGBTQI community when disaster strikes?

Are homosexuals and transgendered people more at risk from natural disasters than the rest of the population? I dare say there is a robust tranche of right-of-centre opinion which holds that they are indeed more at risk and that by and large this is a very good thing. Natural disasters are sometimes called ‘acts of God’ and those of a deeply conservative disposition may be inclined to see them as a punishment from the Almighty for grave transgressions of a sexual or gender nature. It is God doing what God does best – a spot of appropriate smiting.

The rest of us might enquire why, if this is so, God allows perfectly decent straight people to be killed alongside the supposed transgressors in natural disasters – and the only answer forthcoming seems to be that His righteous vengeance is not always pinpoint in its accuracy and nor should we expect it to be so.
