I am also confused by this. I'm sure there are a fair share of gay people voting Republican - there were Jewish people in the nazi party as well - but implying the Republicans got to power on a wave of gay votes is just beyond absurd.
It's not implying that republicans got to power because of gay votes, but rather that organisations such as the LGB Alliance and the multitude of TERFS that have helped this happen through advocating against Trans folk. They're not the sole reason, but they're still a big part especially when they've attempted to fracture progressive movements.
