Indeed. Neither lot's actions nor the actions of the man or the host were up held in the bible. They were acts of desperation. In judges the fact that the man was a Levite was mentioned because he was of the one tribe that could judge another on the behalf of God. And call down on the tribe on that town/tribe what happened in chapter 20. Like wise with lot. Again, a sinful man looking to save a wicked city and his perfered way of life.
What the op does not seem to understand and the point you have missed as well is the acts here were not a prescription of Godly living. They were examples of wicked men trying to appease a wicked soceity, and keep it from judgement. Which again is what both stories is about.
