I think the reason this happens is that people have no principles reason for tolerating other people. It just "feels right" for certain groups and wrong for others. So who gets tolerated trails changes in social acceptability.

Thats assuming he was ejected due to preferences. Buytaert said that Larry ommitted information from his reply, and that there was more going on. So, we don't even know what the exact cause was other than supposedly Larry actually believes that women are subservient to men. Not just sexually, but in life in general.

I can perfectly see how that makes a person who has to interact with a diverse community problematic. But I also understand that you should be judged upon what you have done, not about what you think, and none of the posts or responses qualify that in any way shape or form. So, either something bigger happened that the org is hiding for some protective purpose (either for Larry, or themselves, or both), or as Larry said, he is the result of a smear campaign.

Garfield made that exact analogy in his reply (https://www.garfieldtech.com/blog/tmi-outing).
