To be fair, it may be gender oriented conversation that's bringing it out, rather than sexuality.
Can be as simple as having a different voice compared to your gender, and asking to be referred to in a particular way.
It's been a few years, but when I was first entering the job force, I was mistaken as a girl over the phone and had to clarify that I was male.
It would be no different than that scenario.
Now... there's ways to go about it, and the aggression could be started at either end. People won't want to play with someone who is making a fuss all the time, regardless about how they feel about genders/etc.
On the flip side, there's of course people who won't want to play with others either, and can be real jerks about it.
Thing is, you can't force people to play with you that don't want to. Harassment, etc, sure... but if people are just going "Nope, not playing with you", then there's nothing to do.
People will kick others because they don't want to play with kids, older folks, people who are new to the game, people who don't have working microphones or don't speak their language, people who want to play differently, or just sound annoying.
You can't force people to play with you.
Hence... find a group via the Looking For Group forums (here or discord, etc) and find folks to play with.
Honestly, considering the trolls and other folks who just want to have fun by pushing others' buttons, I would suggest this regardless of your situation.
The only time "total random stranger" isn't an exercise in masochism is deathmatch or battleground gameplay.. cuz then who cares, you are killing everyone anyways.

1. You were randomly kicked because Phasmo being Phasmo(lack of mic, level too low, level too high, voice not of preference by the lobby host, "waiting for a friend", "I don't like your nickname", too talkative, not talkative enough, didn't share items and etc.), but assumed it was because you were lgbtq.
2. You've got onto someone's nerve, so he used that as a reason to kick you.
Remember - lobbies are owned by people, so you're guest. If you don't like it - you're always free to host lobbies yourself.
Also, what Kaisoku said.
Absolutely nobody cares about your sexuality except for you. You're playing a ghost hunting game, not a single person gives a damn what genitals to prefer and honestly, they have zero reason to care. Stop forcing topics about your identity onto perfect strangers who literally couldn't care less and maybe you'll find more enjoyment out of most activities in your life.
Did you tell them? Maybe just don't do it but concentrate on the game, since homophobia seems to be increasing again.
Sharing private information with strangers form the internet is just stupid.
I mean that's no excuse for those morons, but better save than sorry.
There're too many short-minded basement kids out there, and talking to them about stuff like that is like teaching an elephant to fly.
You're acting like announcing your sexuality to a group of strangers who didn't ask isn't a bizarre behavior. I have a feeling it didn't involve OP being harassed or bullied so much as it was they weren't validated and nobody cared.
No, I'm not.
I asked him how they knew he was quer but also told him it's not very smart talking about stuff that in a game chat because of all these homophobic idiots around.
Is it bizzar? I don't know, nor do I care. Many gamers are weird people anyway, so I'm used to read bizzare stuff.
Not a single person on the net can be bothered enough to look at someone's profile(keeping in mind you just cannot, really, anyway).
So, unless OP have actively announced to be lgbtq everywhere they go, I doubt anyone would even be bothered asking, anyway. Announcing to be lgbtq everywhere, takes some balls, so it is expected to be kicked for being that brash about announcing information no one asked for. I wouldn't do that even off the purest intentions.
