Would you say the degree to which a coworker's personal relationship with their spouse is 'your business' is proportional to their salary? Or how exactly do you figure this works?

His relationship with his spouse is his business, not yours. It's really that simple.

In case you missed the details here somehow, this is in conjunction with his own personal donations to discriminatory organizations.

If his wife yelled racial slurs and he said nothing about it, should employees just shut up about that as well?

If you have a problem with a woman, you should take it up with that woman, not her husband. What century is this?
The century where we generally assume that both members of a domestic partnership or marriage are fully aware of the actions of the other and, most likely, support said actions taken by the other, especially when those actions are public and controversial.
Assuming that two people in a relationship agree with each other's politics is a good way to make an ass out of yourself. Causing trouble at work because you dislike the politics of somebody's spouse is totally over the line and you've said nothing to make me question that.
