Sacrificing people and minority rights does NOT help win elections. It makes the people doing it look like political opportunists who are willing to throw their principals and values under the bus for short term gain.
It shows the american people that you (rhetorical "you"
can't be trusted to stand up for the rights of your own Allies! Why should the American people expect you to stand up for them when you throw your allies under the bus at the first sign of difficulty?
It also plays right into the hands of conservatives. In addition to showing everyone that you don't give a shit about the issues you claim to support it allows the right wing to energize their base with their bigoted rhetoric while de-energized our base and we lose the moral high ground to call out our opponents on their bigotry.
What Bill Maher is calling for is strategically and MORALLY reprehensible. It is nothing more than an excuse to get people to ignore the fact that the person calling for it doesn't give a shit about the LGBTQ community and sees it as nothing more than a commodity to exploit.
Normally I like Maher, but on this all I have to say is
