UF community shouldn’t support Chick-Fil-A

I am an angry lesbian. UF would like to foster “a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere” for new and old students alike. As an institution, we take great pride in the numerous multicultural organizations on our campus as well as the diversity and uniqueness of individual students and faculty. We have programs such as Pride Organization and Friends to bring together gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transgenders and allies on campus. I am pleased that UF conveys this accepting environment but am surprised by its inaction. For the past few months, one of our restaurants on campus has been embroiled in controversy over their statements and monetary donations to anti-gay organizations. Chick-fil-A used its charitable arm, The Winshape Foundation, to donate more than a million dollars to anti-gay political organizations.

Stepping out of comfort zone rewarding

Let me just say it: Wakeboarding is hard. In a series of events that were largely out of my control due to misinformation being fed to me by a friend, I ended up at Wakefest ’11. Wakefest is an event organized and run by the Gator Wakeboard Club, and it took place this past Sunday on Lake Wauburg.
