So this sort of thing happens at least twice a month in the Lord of the Rings fandom, or at least it used to, when the fandom was a bit busier.
Non-slash archives or comms were perceived to be per se homophobic, which (IMO) was a really unfair assessment. In many cases, the desire to keep slash off the archive was motivated not by homophobia, but by a desire to focus on het relationships that the archive owners liked, and that were being (in their view) drowned out by the massive quantities of slash fic at other archives.
So my approach would be to (a) ask, and (b) if asking reveals a possibly homophobic reason for the exclusion of slash, then dissociate yourself.
You may want to dissociate yourself from the archive anyway, if the snippet you posted above is anything to go by, lol.
