However people who live in the surrounding city of Irvine might act surprised if they see two men holding hands.



If you want to go by county where each UC campus is in, using Proposition 8 (anti gay marriage in 2008, so low yes percentages are more gay-friendly) as the proxy, we see:

Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz County, 28.6%
Berkeley, Alameda County, 37.9%
Davis, Yolo County, 41.6%
Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara County, 46.8%
Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, 50.2%
San Diego, San Diego County, 53.7%
Irvine, Orange County, 57.8%
Riverside, Riverside County, 64.3%
Merced, Merced County, 71.0%

Note that the county that Irvine is in is not the most conservative (with respect to gay marriage) county where there is a UC campus. Los Angeles County is actually the median one of those with a UC campus.
