Ohio Library Sued For Canceling Religious Meeting

A federal lawsuit accuses a suburban library of violating the rights of a conservative group whose members were told they could not use a community meeting room for singing and praying.

Citizens for Community Values, a Cincinnati-based group that spearheaded the 2004 amendment that bans gay marriages in Ohio, says in the lawsuit filed Friday that the Upper Arlington Public Library was wrong to cancel a meeting planned for Feb. 27.

Library Director Ann Moore told the group it could not hold the meeting if it included religious elements, according to the lawsuit. Full Story
