Gay mega-donor all in for Hillary

PHILADELPHIA — Hillary Clinton can celebrate the end of the Democratic National Convention by toasting a $1 million contribution from one of the most important Democratic donors in Philadelphia.

Mel Heifetz, a real estate investor and one of the most generous supporters of gay rights causes in the country, is sending a huge signal by putting his support behind the Democratic presidential nominee.

"I don't want to see our country taken apart by [Donald] Trump," Heifetz told The Hill, in an interview at an inn nearby one of his properties in downtown Philadelphia.

Heifetz is a diehard Obama guy, and he says he's proud to have been the No.1 gay donor in the country for the president's reelection in 2012.
