All open source projects have a political agenda. That's the purpose of the licence, to force certain behaviour.

Behavior related to the project maybe, but not behavior how should users behave every day in areas that are completely unrelated.
"You are welcome to our community only if your hair is long and you drive a yellow car, if you're not then you're not welcome." is pretty insane IMO.
How is it insane to only welcome people to a community that act respectful towards other people? That seems like a really good way to build a solid community.
Well it's not insane to only welcome people that act respectful towards other people.
We'll see if this will be a solid community I guess.

That's not the case with the Gleam community though. Unless you're willing to adopt their opinions / values / moral stance on certain issues, you won't be treated respectfully - you will be ostracized for having an unpopular opinion or view on a given issue.
It is a totally insane way to run a project, and it's quite obvious the Gleam community is run by persons who are unable to handle people with opinions that differ from their own.
It does sound like a great way to build an echo chamber.

How you behave in community spaces is 100% related to the project.
I agree, that would be very silly. I don't think you can compare not tolerating racists to mandating a particular car colour.
SQLite promotes Christian values but I don't think that they have a problem that a satanist is using their software.
It depends on your definition of racism I guess.
