Is Duke LGBT Friendly?

I am a Duke student but not a member of the lgbt community so take my thoughts with a grain of salt. Most universities are liberal and tolerant and Duke is no exception. Undergraduates at Duke are for the most part restricted to just the campus- they live on the campus, have most of their entertainment options on campus, eat on campus, and almost never interact with people outside of it. I imagine this is fortunate since Durham is particularly poor, crime ridden and less tolerant. I think if you are seriously considering attending a college in the south, Duke will be more lgbt friendly than most.
