the TOS goes further and allows you to call gay people abnormal and mentally ill.

"We do allow allegations of mental illness or abnormality when based on gender or sexual orientation."

The carve out also focuses only on LGBT people. If calling someone abnormal and mentally ill can reasonably be considered insulting then according to this TOS you can't say it to someone with ADHD but you can say it to a gay person.

The TOS is not about enforcing truthfulness, it is about promoting good behaviour. For example according to this TOS you cannot call someone stupid if they have limited intellectual capacity. It doesn't matter if it's true or not because that's not the purpose of the TOS. I can't see any reason for a carve out specifically for LGBT people that allows this sort of technically justifiable insulting language when there is no such carve out for other groups.

agenda pushing is a reason. whether you agree with the agenda is an entirely different discussion, but it does not invalidate the reason
