Bull, hogwash. My best friend is gay, has always been gay, and yes some of you guys looking at her would never ever know. Believe me.
The stereotype is gone. She is tall, slim, great figure and built, and beautiful. Does not act gay, just acts as a mature adult, which is more then i can say for some.
I have been married forever and happy yes i am straight as a board. Usually i can tell who is gay believe me. She was not like that at all. And anyways what does it matter, you see to me, it is more of what is in the inside then anything esle.
And most of her gay friends are not obese in anyway, but taller and slender. I know a lot of married women, who gain tons of weight once married, i am one of the lucky ones, still with a great body. Not the way it is for a lot of women, once they are happily married. Their husbands still love them.
I think todays lesbians, don't look like the typical sterotype, sure some will, but not all of them. Who the fudge cares, what a gay or straight person looks like, does not effect who they are, if they are a good person, which is all the should matter.
From the national library of Medicine> Overweight and Obesity in Sexual-Minority Women: Evidence From Population-Based Data
We have confirmed this hypothesis for the US women aged 20–44 years. Our findings indicate that lesbian sexual identity is linked to a greater prevalence of overweight and obesity, even after adjusting for covariates that are shown in the literature to be risk factors for overweight and obesity. Our study substantiates the evidence generated by earlier nonpopulation-based snowball and cohort studies that brought attention to the prevalence of this health problem in the lesbian population.4–8 In this way, our study is one more example of sexual minority research, where a methodologically sound probability study echoes the findings of earlier studies that were limited in their methodology.44
This article you posted above posits at least a couple explanations as to why lesbians in general may be more overweight:
**** without shallow, physically-oriented men to appeal to, many lesbians feel even less need to stay in shape than many straight women do.
**** Obese women have larger thighs, hips and breasts, which are all sexually desirable in lesbian communities. Physically fit women have smaller thighs and breasts. So among lesbians, there's actually a sexual incentive to be fat.
**** I think lesbian obesity is one of these generational issues. I had a girlfriend 15 years my senior, who, while slim herself, was attracted to me as heavy. I always found that difficult to comprehend. My generation, and even more so, the girls reaching adulthood now are much more conscious about their weight. I'm not nearly as attractive to my own age group. For better or for worse, younger lesbians, femme or butch, seem to me to be more "physically-oriented" than their seniors.
But none of the above = "why is being a lesbian bad for your health!"
christian religion spreading hatred again.
Who would have ever guessed?
Bwahahahaha! Yep..them evil Christians. Do you feel that Christians are somehow oppressing homosexuals then? Perhaps homosexuals, in Western society, are treated so horribly, and only by Christians? Last I checked, we don't live in a theocracy.
This leftist hatred for Christianity is an interesting phenomenon. Sounds like you would fit right in the Iranian governing body? I am a Christian, and I don't care about what homosexuals do or who they sleep with. Don't bother me a whit. There are fire and brimstone congregations out there, but even outside the US Christians do not publically execute homosexuals. Islam does. Regular.
So, before judgment is passed on all Christians as Bible thumping homophobes, might wanna take a gander at what Islam is doing, all over the world. Even in the US UK Europe and many "enlightened " countries.
Most homos seem thin and well groomed. Why not the lesbians?
Because men are different from women? Just a hunch.
