It could be someone with physical access to your pc.

were you logged in somewhere else any time before this?

looks more like Az Sum Gei (which sounds more like it's supposed to be "as some guy") and Pishkoqd. (no idea what that's supposed to sound like)
Either way, none of this actually proves anything about Steam's security, so I'm more likely to believe this is a prank being done by someone with physical access as well, if not on the computer you're currently using, then possibly a different machine that you've logged onto steam through.
I thought there was a way to get an overview of all devices that you've used to log onto steam (and revoke permissions on all others except the one you're using) but now I'm not sure where it is or if I'm not getting steam confused with a different service.
I'm also wondering why you'd specifically stretch the truth towards the "I am gay" route, unless you're specifically trolling for people to take the bait and make the obvious 'are you sure...?" comments to boost the reply count.

First you need to change your login passwords for email, Steam, etc. from a secured device, possibly a mobile device.

If your account and/or computer has been compromised you need to clean your computer, scan for viruses and malware and remove any viruses, keyloggers, malware, etc. that may be present.

Well in that case, nothing wrong with Steam's security.

If they had access to your phone, then it's almost certainly someone who also uses steam, or else they'd probably have trouble finding where to make those changes fast enough to be inconspicuous about it. It's also likely someone who you know/play with on steam and know irl, that way they can enjoy the effects of the prank directly. Before hurling accusations, double check and try to remember if they had access to your phone on the 31st of December, (which is when your name was changed) possibly during a New Years Eve Party or some similar get together.
