Sure, that's totally fine. However, what is the impact here? Basically the volunteers for a Python conference needed to write an open letter as the conference didn't happen. Like, if the PSF don't want conferences in places where same-sex relationships are prohibited, then they should just make that a policy. Personally, I would disagree with that policy as I don't see how Python relates to said policies, but it would be fine. What's not fine is relatively poor volunteers being forced to guarantee major expenses for a conference because the PSF couldn't make a decision.
