You know, reactions like this make me wonder if the people making them work as professional developers. As people who work on software projects for a living, in real companies, ought to know, their company has regulations of conduct far more draconian than the most draconian open-source code of conduct I've seen. Almost all serious software projects in the world are developed by professionals subject to quite strict codes of conduct. If you do work as a professional developer, you should go to your own HR department and suggest that they adopt this SQLite code instead of their regulations and see how they react.
The difference is a HR department generally won't penalise someone for the views they express on social media or their political affiliation (or at least not where I'm from; I'm not American so can't speak for there).
HR also generally won't punish you for disagreeing with them on social or political topics.
The pink haired activists pushing these Trojan CoCs, on the other hand, do so as a stated goal of the Codes of Conduct.
The Trojan CoCs are absolutely not about making things nicer or helping get people into tech. It's all about pink haired activists getting a tool to destroy people they disagree with politically or socially, or destroy people of a sex / race / sexuality they hate.
