Any special interest audience are free to petition any provider for specific content.
Given that cable/satellite broadcasters are not public licence fee beneficiaries and therefore commercial entities, then the petitioned level of subscription would need to be commercially viable.
I deliberately avoid the term 'minority' and substitute 'special interest'
I am sure if enough followers of (for example) 'advanced techniques in macrame and crochet patterns in blue silk' pooled their rescources, then a 2 minute slot in a generic lifestyle programme once a quarter could become a dedicated channel.

Ahh but there you are so wrong, being gay isnt a special interest, its a way of life and equating it with croching just shows the amount of misunderstanding due to lack of media coverage.
Gays are a minority, thats not being PC or using positive discrimination, its a fact.
And minorities need fair coverage in the media.
My argument being that minorities can never be economically viable compared to majorities.
