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.

Man, those homosexuals certainly are intolerant of straight folk. Why don't they just embrace our diversity and respect the difference?

If the Scouts have been singled out for this privilege, then it is within the rights of the City to rescind the privilege. But if other organizations are granted free berthing, then the Scouts have an equal claim. Best of all would be if some generous donor agreed to pay the $500 a month rent, or give the Scouts his own berth to use, free of charge.

One of the other things not often noted in this controversy is that the Scouts provided some 80,000 tons of rocks to help originally construct the marina, and that's when they were given the free berthing.

Of course it was necessary to renege on the deal once it became necessary for the Berkeley City Council to force acceptance of homosexuality.
