A lot of the times it's a test track, or a track that is very much not-released. Happens all the time, and it's def. not gay.
Us as the public as trainspotters have made it so much more difficult to be a DJ now-a-days. Nothing is secret anymore, and for the general public (and new 'djs' who don't care about quality) they just rip those 'unreleased' tunes and play them anyway.
Remember that a lot of the producer/DJ's like to test our their tunes in a club environment before they actually get released. ID - ID is part of the surprise, part of the excitement, and part of the exclusivity of a DJ playing unknown/unreleased tracks.
Then again, you have the other spectrum, of a bedroom DJ smart enough to label a track played as ID - ID, but stupid enough to play it at all because it's a track they obviously don't have permission to play, and they just don't put the track title down in fear of being hit by a running search from labels (yes, labels do search forums, yes they will rip you to pieces if you're playing stuff you're not supposed to [Max Graham anyone?])
More-so now than ever I'm not surprised to see ID - ID in a proper DJ set, because in today's DJ world, exclusivity means everything because of how quickly people can get tracks.
