But it's a good beginning. A flood always starts as a trickle.

With about 10% of the money and a big megaphone.

“Gays are 3% of the voting population. Not much help.”

This is an election year like none other in history, so you never know what may help us. Will the Libertarian candidate matter? We don't know yet. Can we peel off more than the 10% of black voters the GOP usually gets? Perhaps. About 20% of Jews vote for Republicans. Will 20% of Jews vote for Trump? Hope so. I'll take every vote we can get.

About six months ago, a Wall Street I know said about his cronies exactly what that Bret Easton Ellis writer said about his Hollywood cronies: that he couldn't believe how many of them had confided in him that they were voting for Trump, but weren't telling anyone. Is that more the case after Orlando...or less? We shall see.

And if the final margin of victory is 3% or less, will you still feel the same?

Given the vote fraud we face, not to mention the importance of the outcome, I'll gladly welcome all those who stand with us.

Yeah but they are LOUD. And hold control of an outsized portion of the media.

True but they wield a lot more influence due to friends and family who support them to the point of being one issue voters.

Any gay person that would have voted Hillary but stays home is +1. Every gay person that would have voted for Hillary but votes for Trump is +2. So this is as much as a 6% effective swing. Plus, gays punch above their weight both financially and culturally. And from now on, Hillary has to fight hard to keep every gay vote, which previously were locked in.

“Gays are 3% of the voting population. Not much help.”

This is not the way to look at it.

What it does represent is a huge shift in one of the progressives key voting blocks.

Unlike blacks, they’re changing course. The lockstep is broken.

The bigger positive coming out of this is going to be the outsized media coverage and presence this may represent.

We have had everything gay, transgender and lesbian non-stop 24/7 for the past how many years?

Think in terms of media minutes, stories, print/column inches and web pages stories like this will generate.

A key constituency breaking ranks giving a big FU to their “default” party is newsworthy.

Now, the question is how long can the media keep sentiment like this bottled up.

The LGBT media machine is pervasive, ever reaching and their organization skills and abilities are, I daresay, unmatched in America. I can honestly think of no other group that when moved to action can make anything “the” issue that generates more coverage than any other special interest.

Think about it, what other 3% of the population can dominate American society with their issues and media coverage?

I think they might be even less than 3% but they vote in large numbers and they give to political parties.

This election really is about life and death.

True, but they’re very active and many hold influential position especially in the media.

Add all of their friends, coworkers, families and other people who know that their group is next to be under the Dem ax and it might add up.

Plus, they are loud in their opposition.

I was waiting for somebody to point that out. The Dems can steal any election with about 2 percentage points. Swinging most of a demographic would be nice, but in this case the numbers probably won’t matter that much.

“Gays are 3% of the voting population. Not much help”

The time for dividing Americans and counting them for votes is over. American loving citizens must unite to save the last hope for Freedom in the world.

All are welcome to know the truth.

President Trump is the only American who can throw the politicians out on their butts and bring common sense back to this country.

Every vote helps - especially in close elections. Additionally, breaking the Democrat union-liberal-gay-muslim-minorities coalition is important for the GOP’s electoral success.

True. But they are enormously overrepresented in the media and entertainment. They often are very well off and donate to political campaigns.
