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.”

About half of lesbians want to look like men, any sort of manly look will do. The easiest route to that goal is to become an old fat man. A lot easier than becoming a ripped well-dressed guy. Some other dykes want to look like their partner’s mom, so they become real fat and gross. Federal funding isn’t needed to figure this out.
LMAO!!!!
fantasy VS reality...
LOL - this just struck me funny. I need to learn how to write grants so I can waste money on some completely STUPID study.
Lesbians are from Mars, queers are from Uranus.

The feds have no constitutional justification for such a study.
It’s no so much ehy lesbians are fat. Being fat and not being able to attract a man probably turned them to queerdom.
Because they are all ignorant Democrats who can’t figure out how to take care of themselves.
Where’s my Check?
That she also had this "I can do anything I want..." attitude, that extended to shorting her patients their medications at a nursing home is probably coincidental...
Cart before horse.
“ehy” = why
How many of the “researchers” are lesbo? This a complete waste of other peoples’s money.
Carpets are high in calories.
Lesbians LESS likely to play sports??????
Rofl!!!!!!!
Or maybe they are both lesbian and obese due to some other emotional factor.
Call it pathetic license.
At least I'm not homophonophobic.
This is how the left funds their buddies in Academia
In other words, ‘Feds trying to figure out how to get the most money out of this subject and do nothing really worthwhile for our country’
for as we all know, there are plenty of other things these guys should be working on.
What came first, the chicken or the egg?
I don't care any 2.67 million dollars worth.
