Damn, this github issue is such a tragedy... If you like politics, please engage in politic groups or parties. But everything is NOT about politics. Only the worst fascist regimes think so as they try to mold every parts of society to their own beliefs.
I guess it's the downside of the geek culture being fashionable and not an underground culture anymore. People that love talking more than coding start polluting discussion group to get some sort of recognition for something different than plain hard work...
EDIT : i read it again. Do people advocating for the firing of the contributor who posted on twitter realize what the long term consequence is, provided people choose a technology based on politics ? You'll have "gay friendly" technology, and "conservative" technology. You'll have "christian" technology and "muslim" technology (because, hey, saying Jesus is the son of god on twitter hurts muslim's feelings).
You'll have "meat lovers" programming languages. And "pro guns" Operating Systems.
Is that the technological world you want to live in ?? Don't you think computer science and interoperability is difficult enough so that we don't bring in those kind of considerations ?
