(CNSNews.com) – 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.”
“[H]owever, one area that is only beginning to be recognized is the striking interplay of gender and sexual orientation in obesity disparities,” it states.
I'm not a scientist. But I have always thought that lesbians spend a good portion of their lives hiding from themselves. They gain weight to build up a shield.
Orthodoxy SUCKS.
"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." Thomas Jefferson

Some go out of their way to look and act like a man, that includes the beer gut. Had an old drinking friend that liked going to the women's bar and hit on the good looking ones.
I am not a republican I am a conservative, and supporter of the rule of law. And refuse to support any of Roves dopes.

IIRC many female victims of sexual abuse as children use weight as a subconscious buffer against sexual interest by men.
