No, this is what you get if someones response to speakers making a choice about the kind of events they want to speak at is fraud instead of addressing the concerns in an honest way. He has no inherent right to expect speakers to speak at his event. It doesn't matter if they expect a diverse lineup or a bowl of M&M's with all the brown ones picked out - he has the choice of complying with their requirements or finding someone else. Or, I guess, resorting to lies and deceit and getting called out for it.
