Or, you know, it was part of a larger study on obesity, of which Lesbians were a small part, but no, go ahead, don't let things like actually looking at source material distract you from this wonderful blog no one's ever heard of before.

There should be a fat tax, or a thin rebate.

This might be a chicken and the egg type deal.

I thought the site was freebacon.com , and I thought delicious irony, but then I saw beacon...I am so disappointed right now.

The double standards here are ridiculous. Straight men are also more likely than straight women to be obese, but I don't see anyone decrying that they are being "disproportionately affected by an epidemic" (as if obesity were a product of an infectious disease rather than personal choices).
As for "lower athletic esteem"... that applies to overweight people in general. Have they controlled for that?
Plus, the theory that this is caused by gender normative team selection is bunk given that gay men seem to manage just fine.

I believe this is the full text of the study being referenced and they said they adjusted for obesity.

Well, it's interesting I guess. Homosexual males tend to be the least obese and most fit out of any sexual orientation.

? It seems like they have identified a sub-group with a particular health problem, obesity, and are trying to find the root of that health problem.... you know, one of the many jobs of governance. I would be willing to bet there are similar studies about other social groups and their particular health issues
