I think it’s a bullshit number.
1) Ukraine is notoriously homophobic, see eg Azov and Right Sector actions:

2) How big is what’s left of Ukrainian active army? 500k? That’s 1:10 soldiers LGBTQ+? What is this, some secret scheme by Ukranian far rights to exterminate the LGBTQ by throwing them into the grinder?
Ukraine is no more homophobic than any eastern European slavic country. Leftwingers don't like to go to war, they'd like others to do wars for reasons like patriotism, nationalism etc. which all belong to the rightwing mentality. In times of war, you need rightwingers at forefront because they actually care.

They're forced. Biologically a healthy male who can carry arms => enlisted. The way the war is ongoing (attrition), they'd need to recruit from all of the parts of the country and demographics.
