The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has awarded $1.5 million to study biological and social factors for why “three-quarters” of lesbians are obese and why gay males are not, calling it an issue of “high public-health significance."
Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, Mass., has received two grants administered by NIH’s Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) to study the relationship between sexual orientation and obesity.
“Obesity is one of the most critical public health issues affecting the U.S. today,” the description of the grant reads. “Racial and socioeconomic disparities in the determinants, distribution, and consequences of obesity are receiving increasing attention.”

How many Admin Mods are there? Total annual payroll for same?
Not to mention Elen Kagan.
Plaid flannel doesn’t come in petite sizes.
It cost the American people $400,000 (in 1980 dollars) and they wanted to find out two things:
1.) How many homosexuals there were in nursing homes.
2.) They wanted to establish a need where 'two people' would be able to have a room where they could go and have sex.
I was a coder which meant I had to read ALL of the answers of everyone who had been asked questions.
First of all, they found only one guy who admitted that he was "queer," however he refused to answer the sex questionnaire so he had to be eliminated from the study. So, statistically they found NO homosexuals or lesbians.
But, since I was reading all of the answers and was preparing them for the computer, I noticed that the biggest response from the women regarding sex was essentially, "My sex life died when my husband did. I don't even think about that stuff anymore."
I asked one of the Phd's conducting the study why they decided to do this study and he said, I kid you not, he told me that they wanted to establish a need where they could take the results to the state legislature and get a bill passed where every nursing home in the state would be mandated to have a room set aside where 'two people' could go and have sex.
At that point I looked at him and said to myself, "I don't know who the hell you are, but I know for damn sure I am nothing like you." Turns out he was a flaming liberal.
For all their careful planning and their waste of $400,000 they could not establish a need for a mandated sex room in every nursing home. And, the department ended up being sued by some of the children who's parents were asked such indelicate questions.
And, it was a real waste of your tax dollars.
Eating those hi cal nuts on the side??
Do women become fat because they are lesbians or do women become lesbians because they are fat?
Where do I apply for my grant to study this pressing issue?
Actually that’s not true. The main reason men drop out of the dating pool is alcohol / Drug problem or financial issues. The main reason woman drop out is obesity....they have a couple of kids and let themselves go.
Song break: "When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza ..., THAT'S AMORE!"
As always, the entire premise of the question is wrong...
The question is not “Why are so many lesbians fat?”
The question, of course is “Why are so many Fat women lesbians?”.
And for just half the amount of grant money I can tell you why.
There probably is no other objective to this study than to give employment to some fat lesbians in academia. Much of what the government spends is just to give money to people who are too proud to beg and are not gainfully employabe within a free market.
Maybe deys eatz mo cuz deys bees unhappy. Know what I’m sayin’?
Fat chicks like sex as much as any other human.
Fat chicks (with a few exceptions) find it difficult to attract a man.
It is a lot easier for a fat chick to attract another fat chick for sex, rather than a man.
Thus, fat chicks are lesbians.
Problem solved. Now, move on to a real problem.
The NIH.
send me the money and i’ll tell them by return mail!
I’ve known a few, so I’ll throw in my two cents.
Those who tend toward large do not have a very feminine self-image and most were always built sort of chunky. They’re attracted to femininity but are not themselves. They don’t give a hoot about makeup and are only slightly more comfortable in a dress and heels than the average guy would be, which is to say not very. Clothes, they like practical, durable stuff.
Most like to drink and party, but that’s something done largely at home or at the home of friends. Most love to eat, so their home parties usually involve firing up a grill.
Not all of them hate guys but a fair number do. The pretty ones that are feminine as a group usually aren’t entirely lesbian though they’ll typically claim to be in the presence of lesbians. Even some of the less feminine ones are quite capable of being attracted to a male, but figure there’s no point in pursuing it.
Throw an even halfway decent looking guy who’s not gay and unattached into the mix at a mostly lesbian gathering, and it may get a little ugly. If they’re very drunk it will get ugly, in one way or another. A whole lot of internal conflict and outwardly conflicted behavior comes to the fore.
Been there, done that, back in my more libertarian days.
From “Chasing Amy”
Banky Edwards: Alright, now see this? This is a four-way road, okay? And dead in the center is a crisp, new, hundred dollar bill. Now, at the end of each of these streets are four people, okay? You following?
Holden: Yeah.
Banky Edwards: Good. Over here, we have a male-affectionate, easy to get along with, non-political agenda lesbian. Down here, we have a man-hating, angry as ...., agenda of rage, bitter dyke. Over here, we got Santa Claus, and up here the Easter Bunny. Which one is going to get to the hundred dollar bill first?
Holden: What is this supposed to prove?
Banky Edwards: No, I’m serious. This is a serious exercise. It’s like an SAT question. Which one is going to get to the hundred dollar bill first? The male-friendly lesbian, the man-hating dyke, Santa Claus, or the Easter bunny?
Holden: The man-hating dyke.
Banky Edwards: Good. Why?
Holden: I don’t know.
Banky Edwards: [shouting] Because the other three are figments of your ........ imagination!
” . . . why lesbians are fat.”
Why not.
You hit the nail on da head.
