I don't see how not recognizing a type of marriage is discrimination. It might be backwards, archaic and just plain rude, but it isn't discrimination from a Charter point of view.

We aren't disputing TWU's right to teach classes or have a university. We are disputing whether they should be allowed to train members for the bar of British Columbia, which is in no way "independent". And yes, anyone should have a right to join the bar regardless of sexual orientation.
It's also clearly discrimination. A heterosexual person in a relationship has the option to get married to bring themselves in compliance with TWU's oath. A homosexual person does not.
