In brazil, saying homophobic, transphobic, or racist things are illegal (and you can get arrested).
The thing is, for now, Marco Civil law, kinda let the so called "providers" not liable for users content posts, but that's likely to change on a Supreme Court decision that is happening about the Art 19 of Marco Civil. It's similar to U.S Section 230.
That said, if the platforms rules ALLOW homophobic speech literally, as they did, I'm pretty sure that would be illegal even with current legislation, because this wouldn't be a "bad moderation, would be a "no moderation", it was a choice of the company to allow that speech.
