<<Feds Spend $1.5 Million to Study Why Lesbians Are Fat >> Sure you don't like it. You cannot see how this information, science, or any information, can help a society function. You have never been able to see the social complexity or ever showed any compassion for other people. There is just not much to you, except a bunch of angry sound bites. You remind me of Allen West.

Now $2.5M to study why lesbians are drunks On top of the money finding out why they're fat. Hey, maybe being lesbian is a health hazard and liberals should try to ban it just like the Big Gulps. Why the obsession with funding million-dollar studies on the bad habits of lesbians? (CNSNews.com) – The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has awarded $2.7 million to study why lesbians are at a higher “risk for hazardous drinking.” The University of Illinois has received grants since 2009 for its project, “Cumulative Stress and Hazardous Drinking in a Community of Adult Lesbians,” which aims to develop “culturally sensitive” strategies to prevent lesbians from being drunks. “Studies using both probability and nonprobability samples provide ample evidence of lesbians’ vulnerability to hazardous drinking,” the grant’s description reads. “However, very little is known about the factors that increase lesbians’ risk for hazardous drinking.” “We propose to build on and extend our study of sexual identity and drinking… to model effects of cumulative stress on hazardous drinking among lesbians.” weaselzippers.us
