That opinion that upheld the marriage bans in Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennesse said that marriage rights should be decided through the democratic process. Chambers criticized the ruling saying the 6th Circuit failed \u201cto recognize the role of courts in the democratic process. It is the duty of the judiciary to examine government action through the lens of the Constitution\u2019s protection of individual freedom. Courts cannot avoid or deny this duty just because it arises during the contentious public debate that often accompanies the evolution of policy making throughout the states. Judges may not simultaneously find a right violated yet defer to an uncertain future remedy voluntarily undertaken by the violators.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are grateful to Judge Chambers for this ruling that officially puts an end to the long fight for marriage equality for West Virginia\u2019s same-sex couples and their families. This decision clears away the last obstacle to marriage equality in the state,\u201d said Beth Littrell, Lambda Legal Senior Attorney. \u201cEven though the Fourth Circuit\u2019s decision had already cleared a path for West Virginia to issue marriage licenses, this is still a great day for equality. The state is indeed stronger today after the Court\u2019s ruling confirming that all loving West Virginia couples and their families now have equal access to the privileges and protections of marriage.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lambda Legal filed this lawsuit in October 2013 on behalf of three same-sex couples and the child of one couple, arguing that West Virginia\u2019s marriage ban unfairly discriminates against same-sex couples and sends a purposeful message that lesbians, gay men, and their children are undeserving of the legal sanction, respect, protections, and support that different-sex couples and their families are able to enjoy through marriage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although West Virginia became a marriage equality state several weeks
