On May 8th on the Cal State East Bay (CSUEB) campus, the Queer/Straight Alliance (QSA) sponsored a Mock Marriage for Marriage Equality and a LGBT Resource Fair. Five couples, of varying sexes, genders, and sexualities were mock married and three ceremony types were utilized: a Jewish ceremony, a Pagan hand fasting, and a Christian ceremony. There were also participants of varying ethnicities within the ceremonies.

May is Marriage Equality Month and the event at CSUEB was held to help support the concept of 'equal opportunity marriage' for all and to provide support to the LGBT and straight allied community on the CSUEB campus. Marriage equality is a movement to allow all people regardless of sex or gender to obtain civil marriage in the United States and beyond. The event was in support of the CA Supreme Court deciding in favor of marriage equality by June 2008 and against the upcoming ballot measure to change the California constitution to exclude same-sex couples from marrying. Through the mock wedding ceremonies the QSA and supporters demonstrated support for freedom to marry for all.
