(Breese, Illinois) A tumbling coach who worked
with cheerleaders at Mater Dei Catholic High School in Breese has been banned
from the campus because principal Dennis Litteken learned the 22-year-old
gymnast had starred in gay porn videos.
Josh Weast of O'Fallon was not a school employee,
but for the past three years he had been allowed to use the Mater Dei gym to
coach about 40 girls and boys.
Weast said yesterday he regretted making the
videos, but he said he made them about a year ago at a time when he needed the
money badly. Still, he said his private life should have no effect on his
coaching activities.
In comment on the case, the executive director of
a well-known Illinois gay rights groups said private religious schools have a
legal right to enforce their own values as long as federal anti-discrimination
laws are not violated.
