I see no issue with that. They are not telling him how to vote, they are telling him that if you truly support this, it goes against our doctrine, and as such you cannot receive the sacrament of communion.
Its their club, they make the rules. Should a Jewish temple have its tax exempt status removed because they don't want us eating pork? Or the local 4H club for setting its own rules for participation? Churches (and Temples, and Mosques, etc) in general, I think, do more good than harm. And while I may not agree with some of their principles, I think that good should count for something.
