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."

Quote:

“[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. “It is now well-established that women of minority sexual orientation are disproportionately affected by the obesity epidemic, with it continues.

“In stark contrast, among men, heterosexual males have nearly double the risk of obesity compared to gay males.”

Its funny because most forum members here would explain feminism as the reason for all the fat lesbians and thin gay men. After all feminism which is at the core of most lesbians ideals works to disapprove of any emphasis on caring about physical appearances by associating vanity as giving into male patriarchy. However, gay men don´t adhere to feminist ideology and as guys care about getting laid and quite logically realize being fat decreases their options hence the low rates of obesity within them as a demographic. Alas, something tells me the government will spend 1.5 million and still come up short of the desired PC answer to explain this phenomenon.
