<li><p>They celebrated National Coming Out day for the last two years. There is some type of march thing around UF with the Friends people, but I remember which day I saw that. </p></li>
</ol>
<p>That’s all I can think of now.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>UF is so large, most people hang out with there group of friends. I have never heard of any gay-bashing incident or harassment. I do have a group of friends that are very homophobic and I have another the are most socially liberal.</p>
