IS LGBTQ considered a minority?

I am filling out paperwork for a business loan and they want to know if I am a minority but they do not specify what that includes.

We are all a minority at some level.   As an example lets consider a man who is faithfully married to his high school sweet heart for 50 years.   As today 50% of marriage fail the fact they got to 50 years is amazing.  Yet long term and even for some short term,  most men have sexual activity on the side.  Therefore if our hypothetical couple have survived marriage and done so with out any affair, they are a minority.

There is no harm in trying.

I don't say minority because it connects a group's identity to how much they make up in a given society.

Yes.  All of those groups added together is well under fifty percent, and they overlap anyway - people are often more than one of them.

Yes, and portions of that group are extreme minority but they want special laws passed to protect them.
