A Republican judge in West Virginia has decided to quit officiating weddings in the wake of the state’s decision to stop defending its marriage protection law, which defines marriage as a union between one man and one woman.
Putnam County Circuit Judge Joseph Reeder performed his last marriage on October 10, one day after state officials announced they would not continue their fight to protect true marriage after the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a judicial order striking down a similar marriage protection law in neighboring Virginia.
