Lesbians At High Risk Of Obesity

A study at the University of East Anglia’s Norwich Medical School involving nearly 100,000 gay men and women focused on BMI (fat index) to see if a correlation exists between weight and sexual identity.

Researchers found women who identify as lesbian or bisexual are at hyper risk to become overweight or obese, compared to heterosexual women.

However, and oddly conversely, gay and bisexual men are more likely than heterosexual men to be underweight.   Either direction is considered unhealthy.

The assumed culprit?  The school says stressors like homophobia and heterosexism (whatever that is) push gays into either a frenzy of feasting or a drought of drink and larder.

Dare we add these dangers to all the other land mines gays are saddled with (teaser on a future story on gay land mines)....
