DENVER (AP) -- The Colorado State Patrol has been ordered to change its policies after an administrative law judge found the patrol fostered an anti-gay culture.

The changes were ordered after a former patrol captain admitted he was gay during a polygraph exam. The judge says the questioning was out of line and ordered the patrol to follow its own policies forbidding discrimination.

According to KMGH-TV, the former captain admitted to the judge that he withheld information about his sexual orientation, but the judge ruled that was irrelevant.

A spokesman says the state patrol is reviewing the report.
