If the situation is as straightforward as it is made out to be, and it is entirely probably that it is not, and if the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting is a religious institution then I believe that they have every right to refuse to host a same sex civil union ceremony; even though I disagree with them.
If however it is not truly a religious facility and is in fact a quasi public facility then I retract my agreement and I am on more familiar turf, disagreeing with the generally unpleasant folks at the ADF.

That Davy Jones (a family-friendly but wholly secular musician) is welcome to the Ocean Grove facilities indicates that those facilities are not solely for religious purposes, but in fact are meant to serve the general public to some extent. However, the OGCMA claims that the United Methodist denomination specifically bans civil unions in its facilities, as it does not ban concerts by former members of the Monkees.
