	  The National Institutes of Health awarded a Boston hospital more than $1.5 million to figure out why nearly three-quarters of lesbians are overweight � calling the disparities a significant public health issue.
 
 
�It is now well-established that women of minority sexual orientation are disproportionately affected by the obesity epidemic, with nearly three-quarters of adult lesbians overweight or obese, compared to half of heterosexual women,� according to a description of the grant. | 
	 
 
 
 
 
 
	  | Quote: | 
	 
	
	  The hospital noted that heterosexual males have nearly double the risk of obesity compared to gay males.
 
 
 
�Our study has high potential for public health impact not only for sexual minorities but also for heterosexuals,� the grant states.

So why do lesbians 'let themselves go,' while gay men 'out perform' straight men? |

				| Because gay men, being men, are visual creatures who value physical attractiveness above all else....lesbians not so much. Now, where's my $1.5 mill? |

				| Come on guys.  Lesbians clearly tend towards obesity because of self-esteem issues.  When females are too thin, it's because of self-esteem issues.  When they are too fat, it's because of self-esteem issues.  That is the prevailing orthodox dogma, how can it be wrong?  This money will be well spent confirming what we already know: threads like this make lesbians fat, because they hurt their feelings. |
