The federal government is still seeking answers as to why the majority of lesbians are obese and U.S. taxpayers are footing the bill, which now totals $2.87 million.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) study is now in its fourth year, receiving an additional $670,567 for fiscal year 2014. The project seeks to determine why “nearly three-quarters of adult lesbians overweight or obese,” and why gay males are not.
In just two years the project’s budget has nearly doubled, growing from $1.5 million to nearly $3 million today, despite fears that sequestration could jeopardize the project and other NIH funding.
The study, which is being led by S. Bryn Austin, an associate epidemiologist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, operates on the premise that there is a “striking interplay of gender and sexual orientation in obesity disparities.”
The researchers have been busier since last year, when the project had yielded only one paper. Those results concluded that gay and bisexual males had a “greater desire for toned muscles” than straight men.
The project now claims that lesbians have lower “athletic-self esteem” that may lead to higher rates of obesity. Another research paper found that lesbians are more likely to see themselves at a healthy weight, even though they are not.
Their research found that lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and “mostly heterosexual” adolescents exercise one to two hours less a week compared to heterosexuals. The paper also said sexual minorities are 46 to 76 percent less likely to be on a sports team, due to “gender nonconformity and athletic self-esteem.”

A high number of pedophiles are left handed too.
I'll bet Rosie knows.
Save your money and just ask her: "Rosie, why are you disgusting lezzies so fat?"
Simple question.
Of course, she being the lib dumb ass that she is, she's gonna blame the spoon, but....
Where are you getting this information?
I’ll tell them for free. It’s depression.
What about the hairy moles?
Lesbianism is partly the rejection of being a woman, so reinforcing that you are not interested in your sex appeal and appearance is a fundamental portion of that, mixed in with females who don’t care, and their love for food indulgence, and wham, a fat chick, layered on top of that is the sort of masculine “big” and more intimidating aura that an extra 100 pounds means to a lesbian.
The homosexuals worship the male form and want to seduce what? Men, who are visual, and drawn to physical beauty, a nice bod.
I bet it’s something in flannel. We could be seeing a massive class action suit in the making.
Or is it maybe that obese ladies don’t have very good prospects in the lovin’ department and are more or less forced to become lesbians out of frustration and anger at the male gender which dissed them.........
“But doc. all I eat is fish tacos, three times a day!”
Perhaps they’re eating out too much?
Sinister (and gauche).
Yeah, and do you see how slim they are?
(But U likely know that....)
“The federal government is still seeking answers as to why the majority of lesbians are obese”
Because they eat too much?
And I’ll sell my answer to the Feds for only $200,000.00 instead of $670,567.00.
Don't remember but, I read reliable science magazines, etc. Probably in one of those.
Anyway, a quick search found this
