Depends..... legalization of prostitution doesn't equate to a prostitution operating as a business entity (w/ tax exemptions). Laws in this case are hypothetical. Private entities can operate exclusively.
There are many cases in which services are simply not offered due to the fundamentals of the business and limitations. Women only gyms, for example, are treated as a privacy issue, fundamental to their business, and no alternative. There are many other examples of gender specific businesses and services. The intent is fundamental to their business not driven by biases against gender (race, etc..)
Hypothetically, a heterosexual prostitute (assuming operating as a business entity) can refuse service to same sex simply because it is a service they are incapable of providing. The same would apply to other gender identities. To prove discrimination, you would need to show that the intent was driven because the prostitute's prejudicial biases.
I'm support sex worker rights from primarily a rights issue (domain over body, privacy, right to choose) and safety. Yes an interesting question but I've never met an LGBT person who would actively be interested in sex with another against that person's sexual identity... kinda sounds silly to me.
A more interesting question in my mind would be framed around that of heterosexual male of a certain race by a heterosexual female... that is more likely to be an issue.
