It's an effective tactic, because the aggrieved community shows that it is willing to make sacrifices to express their dissent, because it is viewed as a very serious issue of conscience. And that might induce some folks to reassess their views, or the priority that they place on the issue.
Beyond that, based on what David says, it seems some voters supporting gay rights are voting for a party that does not due to trying to appease another group. To the extent the party chieftains think they might lose power due to the defection of this cohort of voters, if they don't tack on this issue, that will really focus their mind on this issue, even if they personally don't give a damn about the LGBTQ community.
