No, it's not.

What is being made issue of is not the sex, but the hypocrisy.

When a religious leader who has characterized homosexuality as a disorder and a sin is found in a hotel room doing drugs with a same sex prostitute, the issue is not about whether he's gay, the issue is the rank hypocrisy.
