Federal study on lesbian obesity costs $3 million
Washington Times ^ | 8/31/2014 | Jessica Chasmar

A federal study to determine why 75 percent of lesbian women are obese and gay men are not has totaled nearly $3 million.

They have determined that gay and bisexual males had a “greater desire for toned muscles” than straight men, lesbians have lower “athletic self-esteem” that may lead to higher rates of obesity, and that lesbians are more likely to see themselves at a healthy weight even though they are not, the Free Beacon reported.

Their research also found that LGBT individuals exercise less than heterosexuals, and that sexual minorities are 46 to 76 percent less likely to be on an athletic team.

I’m still trying to figure out why anyone would care enough about the answer to this question that they thought it might be worth $3 MM to find out.

They probably don't care. They simply wanted a way to get free money.

My .02:

Many lesbians have a hormonal imbalance (or look like they do). These are the so-called masculinized women. Probably a lot of androgens in their system. They end up identifying with the opposite gender.
