Ok, let's use your analogy then:
"I certainly believe in the value of everyone, but I cannot endorse being Japanese because it's counter to my personal convictions which are based on the Bible"
And really, it's actually an event supporting inclusion for LGBTQ+ because they are under particular discrimination right now, so a more close analogy would be:
"I believe everyone has value, but being Black isn't something I can support"
