I know right?
He then went on linkedin claiming it was all fake and that people were "attacking him for who he loved." I'm sure some people were attacking him for being gay but I think most were attacking him for having sex in the senate hearing room.
It is nothing to do with him being gay. And it has everything to do with him filming himself having sex in a place where he shouldn’t be having sex, and then leaking it online. 
I didn’t even know he was gay until you mentioned it just now. It absolutely does not matter who you were fucking. It’s that you were fucking, recorded it, and it leaked. Shame on you. 
Generally speaking having sex in your workplace is a bad idea*. Filming it, even worse. Doubly worse if that workplace is unique and identifiable. Triply worse if that place has security that tracks people access.
*obviously not if you are in the business of sex.
That right there is the dumb part. He should've owned up to it.
"Yes, I had killer sex in the Senate hearing room and all you senators are jealous you didn't do it first."
For real, if he'd embraced getting caught and just owned it he might have traded up for a much more interesting career.
