There are two essential points that appear (slightly) in this article that are essential to the case. First, the US Supreme Court decision in favor of the Boy Scouts of America held that the Scouts have a FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT to determine the nature of their adult leaders. So, the marina authority is demanding that the Scouts give up their constitutional rights.

Second, and this may be the Cailfornia Supreme Court's easy way to end the case, the Sea Scouts have no policy in the area of homosexual adult leaders. The marina is demanding that the Sea Scouts denounce the policy of the Boy Scouts. I'm willing to bet the Cal. SC will take the cheap way out, and use this as the basis of its ruling in favor of the Sea Scouts.

I don't think the marina is demanding the Scouts give up their constitutional rights. They're just saying they won't give charity to an agency which discriminates. The scouts are perfectly welcome to leave their boat in the marina, they just have to pay to do so. It seems that's what they're doing currently.
