Now that's slippery slope... People may not agree with each other, but there's a massive difference between "I don't like something trivial" and "I think that group of people should not exist". It's not all the same thing or equally important. There's a good reason to remove community leaders who have the latter views.

And silence from Ruby leadership? Probably because like half of them are Japanese. A culture known for being way more conservative than Americans and Europeans. Not exactly pro-immigration either. And the BDFL is a devout Mormon, a religion also known for being conservative.
Take your culture war somewhere else...
