You are right the quote says 'homophobic slurs'. That one is on me.
Your explanation for it definitely being transphobes (which most homophobes likely are too, which is why I'm going to assume that you didn't think they were homophobes) seems speculative unless the three wildcards are indeed one letter each (which could probably be checked by finding other articles from the same writer and checking it for different lengths of asterisks) and there is a homophobic slur specific to men that would match.
There's no reason homophobes would not be upset about a homosexual person going to the bathroom and if the person was visibly queer that would be enough.
The assumption that I made in the first set of brackets of the second paragraph ended up being quite important but otherwise your original statement doesn't make sense.
