Then I don't understand your concern at all. Exactly how much coverage should this get? He is a flash-in-the-pan, once-famous person who has been caught doing exactly what everyone assumed he was doing 20 years ago. The coverage is not limited because he is gay. The coverage is limited because he is a nobody in this day and age cares about him. It was disco for heaven's sake.

By the way, I heard Dean Martin had a DUI. I wonder why the media hasn't focused on this. Are they pro-alcohol?

It's really not terribly complicated.  I don't have a 'concern' so much as a feeling of amusement that a truly disgusting individual's scandal is worsening by the moment, and considering the excessive coverage that had been given to his drug bust, it will be interesting (to some of us) whether the MSM will give a similar amount of coverage to last night's male prostitute angle.  The news here is not that 'he is gay' as you say, but that this involves a male prostitute which, last time I checked, was an illegal job description.  This further magnifies the level of the scandal and also magnifies the level of glee felt by those of use who have really despised him for the past 20 or more years..  A pretty straightforward thing here, and of course if you don't consider the matter worth your time you are of course entirely welcome to spend your time elsewhere.  Not every thread is going to appeal to everyone, nor should it.
