Looks like lesbian women and straight men are the most likely candidates to be obese. Sounds about right.
In other words those under the selective pressure of men are thin while those under the selective pressure of women, not so much.

Only 0.75% are obese? That's a very small percentage of obesity.

My theory is that women are more accepting of obesity in their partners whereas males are visually stimulated and are more inclined to complain about a partner's weight, therfore the partner of a woman (lesbian or straight male) has less external motivation to lose weight.

If that is in fact true, maybe it's because their female partners are less shallow than most male partners? I'm a straight woman myself, and some men (particularly of certain ethnic & social backgrounds) consider anything over a size 4 to be fat.

Yeah, pretty much what I just said (before reading your response).

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.
The link was to yet another christian hate site.
There are so many!
So you have to go to other countries to find hatred like the christians in the US, and from muslims.
Tell me, what's the difference, absolutely none?
Both spread hatred in the name of their god thingie.
But they're both hate filled "religions" - the US is filled with hateful chrisitians.

What is the rate of obesity in the heterosexual population, or America as a whole for that matter?
