Grant: Alcohol is 'integral component of bars and clubs'!
The National Institutes of Health is spending over $400,000 studying whether gender norms of masculinity and femininity lead LGBTQ individuals to drink too much.
Trying to find the "meanings of intoxication" of sexual and gender minorities is the central question of a study that was awarded in late July.
The project will "examine the extent to which gendered norms shape risky drinking practices for sexual and gender minority (SGM) young adults," according to the grant for the study.
The grant states that alcohol is an "integral component of bars and clubs."
"Alcohol has played a central role for SGM by facilitating exploration of sexuality and gender, coping with minority stress, trauma, and stigma and serving as an integral component of bars and clubs for SGM young adults," the grant states. "Given this central role, it is not surprising that problematic alcohol use, including heavy episodic drinking (HED) and intoxication, and alcohol-related problems are significant issues for SGM young adults."
Researchers will conduct "in-depth interviews" with approximately 200 lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer individuals about their alcohol use, to determine why they drink.

Sheeesh.
The same mental illness that makes them perverts makes them substance abusers.
Next question?
Good God!! What next???
I remember back in the 70’s when a buddy of mine was dating some girl and I was invited to go out with her roommate, a good deal. So we are at their apartment whe3n the third roommate comes in opens the refrigerator door and all I could see was an upended tall boy over the refrigerator door. My “date” says, “rough day at the tomato canning factory Jean?” She burbs and heads to her room. Later we are3 in the living room and there is a hawk bill knife on the coffee table. “that’s Jeans, says my date.” Don’t give me the gay’s can’t drink line. I know a few that will put you under the table and laugh at you.
A $400k liquor bill for parties for LGBTQ folks to sit around and lament the fact they are different than the rest of folks.
I am certain that’s what the money is for, and I applaud the innovative thinking that came up with that plausible BS story lol
I just wonder how I might convince them to keep my garage refrigerator well stocked, not to mention the cabinet above the tool box:)
ROTFL!
Drunks slur their words, including pronouns. When they say “he” “she” or “it” they accidentally use the correct pronoun of “sh*t.”
I think that it’s the alcohol that causes drunkenness.
The pain from taking it up the a@@ makes them get drunk.
Dealing with their venereal diseases makes them get drunk.
Dealing with their mental illness makes them get drunk.
I pity the ones who aren’t out screaming about pride.
I dislike the ones who are out screaming about pride because they are gay.
I’m not so sure where i’m going when I die, so I won’t make that judgement on them.
But they’re off to a bad start if they’re acting on their impulses.
Translation: one psycoticologist gets 400 large to interview a couple of dozen people and send out some postcards. The final results have already been written and the data will be faked to support it.
Typical behavioral “research”.
What a waste of taxpayer funds. Who dreams up this crap?
Probably the same people that studied shrimp running on a treadmill:

Half a billion to find out what the Bible says is TRUE.
No, but being insane does.
This falls under HHS. Hey Dr. Price, are you too busy repealing Obamacare to slash things like this?!
Oh,wait.
Some companies are really dictatorial about holding exclusive LGBTQ rooftop parties this summer. Are they to blame, or are they actually recipients of federal funds for parties?
STUPID
you deserve $400,000 for that observation. File for a grant.
psy·cho·sissīˈkōsəs/noun
a severe mental disorder in which thought and emotions are so impaired that contact is lost with external reality.
"According to my opinion, and the opinions of many defectors of my caliber, only about 15% of time, money, and manpower is spent on espionage as such. The other 85% is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion, active measures, or psychological warfare. What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided into four basic stages.The first stage being "demoralization". It takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years required to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy exposed to the ideology of [their] enemy. In other words, Marxism-Leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least 3 generation of American students without being challenged or counterbalanced by the basic values of Americanism; American patriotism.Most of the activity of the department [KGB] was to compile huge amount / volume of information, on individuals who were instrumental in creating public opinion. Publisher, editors, journalists, uh actors, educationalists, professors of political science. Members of parliament, representatives of business circles.Most of these people were divided roughly into two groups: those who would tow the Soviet foreign policy, they would be promoted to positions of power through media and public manipulation; [and] those who refuse the Soviet influence in their own country would be character assassinated OR executed physically, come Revolution.
