A gay Life Scout ousted from the Boy Scouts of America in Philadelphia says he never sought to become the poster child for gays in scouting.
Greg Lattera says scouting meant the world to him and he still supports the organization. But the 25-year-old Lattera says he has no regrets that he appeared on TV in his uniform to applaud the local chapter's anti-discrimination policy in 2003.
The Cradle of Liberty Council soon rescinded the policy amid pressure from national Boy Scout leaders in Texas, who ban gays.
The jury must decide whether the city can rescind the Boy Scouts' $1-a-year lease on their city-owned headquarters building if they don't comply with city anti-discrimination laws.
Lattera was the last witness before closing arguments Tuesday.
