My views define my choices. If I hated the flavour of coffee, I wouldn't drink coffee. I would say no if you offered to buy me a coffee. I would avoid coffee-flavoured desserts. If I had an influence on a community space and made a decision that beverage-related discussions about other caffeinated drinks were acceptable, but not coffee, you could not argue in good faith that my personal views did not have a bearing on that.
Having a bigoted view is never acceptable. Such people should not have an influence on communities, particularly when the group or groups they are bigoted against exist. Bigotry is hate, and hate is unacceptable. And hate is a very strong emotion for very weak and pathetic people, and it most certainly influences action, as the strength of the emotion is the only thing about them that makes them feel strong.
Being hateful and acting on hate are exactly the same thing, because that is what hate motivates you to do.
This is a lie: "Yes, I hate people, but I don't let it influence me."
This is because: Hate is how you see other people.
If I see you as less than human, I will treat you as less than human.
