MEMPHIS, Tenn. - A Mid-South women's softball coach and her team get banned from a church league, after members learned she was gay.

Jana Jacobson said officials at Bellevue Baptist Church told her the team couldn't play in their league because she was a lesbian.

Jacobson said she had already registered and paid the entry fee, when she was told she couldn't play.

She said her team was made up of gay and straight players. Bellevue Baptist didn't comment on the incident.
