Feds spend $1.5 million to study why lesbians are fat. NIH awards money “to study biological and social factors for why ‘three-quarters’ of lesbians are obese” (vs. 50% of heterosexual women) calling it an issue of ‘high public-health significance’.” When they spend our money, it’s an isue of high something-or-other significance. When we spend our money, it’s greed.

They are not fat and ugly because they are lesbians. They are lesbians because they are fat and ugly. Thanks. I'll settle for five bucks.
That's an easy one to answer, it's because they wear Flannel Shirts. Ok, where's my 1.5 Million???
This is an interesting topic with as many possibilities as there are humans.
I agree with Karmaa in that obesity rates among lesbians can likely corrolate to some sort of abuse having been a part of an individual's life. I can also see as MDLION states that food becomes something used in a way to self medicate. I don't think self-medication within the homosexual
community is all that unusual. It must be devastating to acknowledge a same sex attraction and somehow viscerally understand that contrary to what their "community" maintains, something deep down in each
person recognizes that it's against nature. It's a perfect set-up for a lifetime of self-destructive behavior.
Both my MIL and her partner came from privileged backgrounds with remote, negative parents and
generational alcoholism that probably fueled verbal and other abuse when they were children. Interestingly,
they both came to their current orientations after failed marriages and children. Among their small coterie of
friends there isn't one of them who isn't "fluffy", recovering from some addiction or other, or has one nice
thing to say about a male, unless that male is also homosexual. That's the kind of environment my husband dealt
with through his teenage years. He dislikes his mother's choices in how she lives because he feels they're keeping
her in a place - emotionally, financially and locationally - that's not good for her.
And he views her network of friends as enablers.
So if I eat too much I'm a lesbian?
I knew it. I'm a lesbian.
I've known I was a lesbian for 30 years, but it had nothing to do with eating........
food!
I was a lesbian long before I knew what it meant.
This is one case where it could indeed be bush's fault.
WE need to spend one point five million to find out why libtards are raving F*cking lunatics....
If lesbians ate their favorite daily snack in moderation, there'd be no problem--and they better do it before Bloomberg bans all cats in NYC.
I think it was the 32 oz sodas in New York
This same fear/hate/distrust of men can cause a subconscious desire to look “not sexy”
That makes sense to me. Her outward appearance is something she can control. A mans behavior, not so much.
except I think it would be "conscious" desire rather than "subconscious" desire...but what do I know?
It could be conscious, but I think it starts so early that it's under the surface. When teenage girls start with the preening and makeup and all that, these butch girls shun it - even before it's really understood that they are dressing up for boys.
My daughter 's friend has apparently been openly bi for a long time. On the heels of her last breakup, she decided that she is in fact full blown lesbian (with exceptions! lol), and she went so far as to "come out" on facebook. Three weeks later, and with the lady-love she was pursuing over and done with, she has been having a change of heart.
This is NOT the kind of lesbian I am talking about, lol.
Most people in my profession do not like when people say things like this, but I think the reason that so many lesbians are fat and unattractive is the same reason so many are lesbians in the first place. Early sexual abuse. Yes, I know that this does not cover every single lesbian out there, but the studies are there (I think I posted some of the research a while back) and there is a significant correlation. This same fear/hate/distrust of men can cause a subconscious desire to look "not sexy", which translates into poor body image. It's all intertwined, and it's just one response, because we know that some girls who go through early sexual abuse react in the polar opposite direction.
Sure there are a lot of lesbians who don't fit into that pattern, but there are enough that it's a "thing". Even if most "should I major in psychology or women's studies?" liberals don't want to acknowledge it.
I agree with Karmaa. I've long thought that many lesbians are obese because they are trying to use comfort food to medicate some type of deep painful wound. Either sexual abuse or some type of love deprivation/abandonment.
Are a number of men of the homosexual orientation thin because they have HIV/AIDS? Or even if they don't have HIV/AIDS, are they thin because their behavior is just unhealthy and unsanitary, compromising their immune systems?
How ridiculous that liberals keep saying gays and lesbians are born that way, when most gays and lesbians seem to be very deeply wounded and confused about gender issues. They had liberal activist Sally Kohn on Fox yesterday. She's a lesbian. It's obvious by her appearance that she's confused and is trying to look masculine.
That was a woman?
I always wanted to know why the concept of having a dominating mother and a passive father as being the # 1 driver in homosexual development is no longer allowed to be discussed as a reason .
Over my many years , I have rarely ever not seen this to be the case in almost all the home environments for most male or female homosexuals . I agree that early sexual abuse absolutely drives the nails in the coffin , in the minds of those involved , but then the question arises that points back to the first point , why the sexual abuse ? Dominating mother , passive father , roles are skewed and relationships are destroyed . Oh my , I forgot , this is something that's not allowed to be discussed . And the madness continues , because imaginary causes can only lead to imaginary solutions .
I don't buy into that theory. Just as I don't really buy into the sexual abuse theory.
It's really not a theory, so much as it is a factual correlation. Studies done over the years have shown that lesbians report sexual, physical and emotional abuse by men in extraordinarily high numbers. Higher than hetero woman.
In recent years, since the libs have taken over the psychology field, there have been studies that have tried really hard to refute this (in lesbians ONLY - in hetero women, it's still OK to blame men), but the studies have all been warped and fixed to try and get the desired results. And STILL the best they can do is right down the middle. And then spend the entire "discussion" section explaining why the results are not important and why the previous studies were "flawed".
Remember - one of the purposes of of research is to be testable (verifiable), and so far, using the same unbiased methods, the original results can't be refuted.
The part about why the lesbians are fat IS a theory. It's mine, and there are no studies that I know of that support it, but it makes perfect sense to me.
As a disclaimer, i will say that I have no issue with people choosing to be lesbians, or homosexual. In my heart, I am libertarian, and I believe people should be free to do what they want so long as they don't interfere with me, or take advantage of vulnerable people. So, the things that I say are not meant to sound negative towards lesbians. They are just the truth, stripped of the rosy picture that the feminists and libs have tried to paint round it.
It's not an absolute, but it does happen.
Too short for their weight.
