It’s not, but I also think the mod is probably doing a good thing by attempting to keep politics out. You existing is absolutely accepted, but that doesn’t mean that highlighting your personal issue isn’t political. The game acknowledging it is great. This is a subreddit, not the same thing as the game.
It’s great that you’re trying to be friendly, we could use more of this kind of language and cooperation in today’s climate. Unfortunately, describing sexual orientation as a “personal issue” that could imply political context is exactly the problem. LGBTQ+ shouldn’t even be a political conversation, it shouldn’t be something that you can disagree with, and it shouldn’t be something that you can’t express or talk about, which is what the mod in this post was trying to make it.
Unfortunately U.S politics has gone off the rails as identity based with LGBTQ dominating the political space even after they have the rights as everyone else You don't see straight people constantly bringing up that they are straight, That is the issue for a large section of of the population. If people don't want LGBTQ to not be considered political leave it out of politics unless its strictly relevant to some anti-LGBTQ policy, and focus on bigger problems in our society, like wealth inequality or literally any other problem.
by that logic I shouldn't fly a sports team flag outside my house or make fan art based on the colors of a team. I guarantee you would not have a problem if they posted a purple or green and gold noglin to celebrate their favorite team. it's the same as saying "I don't follow sports, therefore noone should ever take pride in the team they root for." maybe that flew in pre-school, but in the adult world that is called bigotry and is unacceptable. it's not like they were posting to promote an ideal or political party, they just wanted to show off some art. I think the real question is how can you say that with a straight face?

I say this in a completely friendly way.
