First of all, I'd need to know more about what you mean by voting "against the interests of gay people". Just because you can be classified as belonging to some group doesn't mean you have to support anything and everything that benefits that group.
Anyway; I believe that one's sex life is a personal matter providing he or she isn't violating anyone's rights or endangering others. I certainly don't believe in "outing" someone as a politically-motivated "Gotcha!" tactic.
I think the only time I would disclose information about sex between consenting adults to another person would be if I found out someone I knew was cheating on his or her significant other. I wouldn't do this because I'm some nosey moralist. I would do this because the cheater could be risking the health of his or her significant other by possibly bringing home STD's (and the cheater's sexual orientation wouldn't matter to me). What kind of friend would I be if I looked the other way while my friend's life was being put at risk? But even then I would "out" the cheater's behavior in a private way rather than posting it on the internet or taking out an ad in the local paper.
