People are upset because their "code of conduct" extends far beyond the reasonable purview of the project.
You may not participate if you hold and espouse ideals contrary to theirs in unrelated spaces.

It doesn't police peoples' personal beliefs outside the community. It only says that while participating in the community you agree not to harass people and try to contribute in a positive way.
I wonder if you have past experiences that are coloring your interpretation of this, because I'm really unsure where you're getting any of this from.
That said, their CoC does not block anyone from merely using the language.
This is bullshit.
Typically we are talking about the same category of people that become Reddit mods. Those are full blown adults where internet drama and culture war nonsense is their actual hobby. The open source thing beneath it is the side project.
It's the reason why I avoid getting involved with open source communities like billionaires avoid taxes.
That said, my original point is not to avoid Gleam as a language. The language itself looks pretty interesting. You don't need to stare at the CoC to use the language.

What type of individual do you suppose attaches their identity to this type of quote?
Er... No?
I think I was clear that you can use the language without getting involved with the drama related to the community behind the codebase.
The reality in online space is, you can either make Nazis aware they're not welcome at the door, or you can let them know when they start making trouble. Either way, if you wnt to keep your online community copasetic, eventually you have to tell Nazis to fuck off.
What is interesting here is that most likely I am on the same side of the political aisle as the people there.
I still find that sort of talk insufferable. Gives me mid-2010s "woke" bullshit vibes (god the slang of my contemporaries is horrid).
