Family: Son Denied Confirmation Over Facebook Post

BARNESVILLE, Minn. (WCCO) -- A Minnesota teenager's family says he wasn't allowed to be confirmed at his church because of a Facebook posting.

The posting was a picture of the 17-year-old with a political sign opposing the Minnesota marriage amendment.

The reverend at Assumption Church in Barnesville, Minn., says Lennon Cihak was not denied confirmation, but declined to explain.

The family says they do not plan to return to the church.
