No. It means implying something from something more tame. For example, in this case, it's an objection to any support for gay, trans etc. Rather than saying that outright, they'd say DEI is over the top. Which is attending to sound subtle and against a policy or practice when it's against minorities. Its a dog whistle. Like anti-immigration is usually used in as a racist dog whistle.

    It needs to have a coded element to it, some people hear what's really being said, some do not, like an actual dog whistle. There is no coded element here, it's explicitly attacking gay, trans, women, basically any minority group because that's expressly what DEI is about.
