Yes, if you are wondering, this does bear some similarities to yesterday's lawsuit brought in DC that I mentioned here, including Lambda Legal's presence as counsel. (Yesterday's suit also included NAACP LDF and Covington & Burling as counsel.)

Until recently — it listed a core value:

Diversity: Encourage, embrace and continually enlist the support and inclusion of all members of our diverse international community.

—> that value is gone from their website.

But it still says:

Ethics:
Insist on the highest ethics in everything we do.

The organization sent an email to membership today. That said in part:

“While AFCEA is an independent, nonprofit association, our relevance and impact depend on the strong partnership and support of the U.S. military, allied and government agencies.”
