Government Spends Nearly $2.7 Million to Study Booze-Loving Lesbians

National Institutes of Health Spend Nearly $2.7 Million to Study Alcoholic Lesbians

Last week it was reported that the National Institutes of Health had awarded approximately $1.5 million in grants to study how obesity and sexual orientation correlate — particularly why lesbians are more likely to be overweight than gay men. Apparently it was considered an issue of “high public-health significance.”

Now, CNS News adds that the National Institutes of Health have awarded roughly $2.7 million to study why lesbians are more prone to “hazardous drinking” as part of a separate study, at a different institution.

CNS News explains:

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.”

The researchers theorize that lesbians report higher rates of traumatic events, making them more likely to engage in hazardous drinking, which has been defined by NIH’s National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism as “more than 7 drinks per week or more than 3 drinks per occasion for women.” [Emphasis added]

Here’s a screen shot of the 2012 overview, via the NIH website:

But if you click on the “history” tab, you can see just how much the taxpayer has spent studying the drinking habits of lesbians at the University of Illinois:

But according to CNS News, this isn’t all the government has spent on this topic:

The University of Illinois is not alone in receiving federal funds to study “sexual minorities” and their propensity to drink. The University of Washington has been awarded $1,154,445 since 2010 for its project “High Risk Drinking in Emerging Adult at-Risk Women,” which seeks to find out why young lesbians and bisexuals face an “elevated” chance for hazardous drinking.

Old Dominion University in 2012 received $446,056 for its study titled “Minority Stress, Alcohol Use, and Intimate Partner Violence Among Lesbians.”

The national debt of the United States is currently about $16.7 trillion.

I use to be an alcoholic. I didn’t realize that at the time I was also a lesbian. Wow. I am kind of shocked to hear lesbians are fat though, I thought they all looked like the ones on late night cable tv. Disappointing on many levels.

I have read that a large percentage of the gay and lesbian community are addicts and alcoholics. They are like this because they are always trying to self-medicate the guilt they say they don’t feel. They know they are perverted and want to escape that feeling.

  You bet! In the age of trillion dollar budgets, a few million here or there is just a rounding error, but enough to make one or two corrupt people wealthy. Yet mention “cut” to a progressive, and they react like a troop of scalded chimps.

Why are lesbians obese and drunk?

Because if they were slim and healthy, they wouldn’t be lesbians.

  I know my comment sounds insidious, but take a look at society and you’ll see what I mean. Women are constantly barraged by images from the media/movies/tv that they have to look like these glowing, air-brushed super models. Everyone knows this is unrealistic, but minds are impressionable and take someone who already suffers from low self-esteem due to feeling “unattractive”, and they run to the arms of another women whom may have similar issues.
  
  No, I’m not a shrink, and I don’t believe this is why every lesbian is a lesbian, this is just my opinion based on what I’ve observed. And I won’t even bill the government 2.7 big ones for it.

We have a Czardom of Rats in Washington. Just one more reason to IMPEACH the big Kahuna along with his czarinas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had a drunk Lesbian come up to me and say, “So your name is Mrs. Khuhnt huh, how do you pronounce that? I said it’s Ka-hunt. Two syllables not one, and she said “Meow, meow, meow.” So I said to her, “Read my Ka-hunt lips, get lost” and the damn drunkard ***** said, “meow, meow, meow.”

  Typical…..
  
  You must be one of those……
  
  Gays and Lesbians drink because they hate themselves and what they are doing to the country they presume to love…..They hate their very being and they also hate the fact that they cannot reproduce without the others help……Oh and the fact that the Boy Scouts don’t want them either.
  
  I would hate to see the place the Devil has laid out for such people, and I am glad I am on the right side of that religious coin.
  
  Gay men are only Gay until they score a hot female…..Its a proven fact.

I have a suggestion for a government study:

What are the affects on the average tax payer who gets ticked off about spending American tax dollars on useless projects such as this?

Anyone who can justify a dime on this kind of project, I would love to read your input.

Just the tip of the ice berg…people stopped watching fraud, waste and abuse in DoD during the Regan years. He wanted 50% of the bases contracted out…no one followed up to see if we meet the metrics till 1997. We had by that time exceeded 50% greatly…and it is costly. But hey, you do what el presidente tells you…now that DoD has fewer civil servants the cuts now go to the essential warriors. It just got worse…and this has been going on for over 40 years. Cut, cut, cut but not the contracts, cause some senator or congress person might get pissed.

Trauma and stress comes from living a life opposite God’s plan for male and female. Sexual immorality is the highest form of decomposition of soul…if you don’t like it, take it up with God. The feds can cease rolling parties out on our dime.

  Some here have argued that it is not the highest form. Some said other are high or all are equal.
  Let’s put it this way it is bad. Worse they want to codify it in law, science & culture as normal or good. Once they do that It will take a long time to find our way back as a group meaning all Americans.

“The researchers theorize that lesbians report higher rates of traumatic event”

Maybe that is why they are lesbians. They were traumatized by dirtbag men.

Maybe the solution is not legalize gay marriage but to prosecute dirtbags?

  Well said. Have you ever read this? http://akashmanews.com/2010/08/08/why-obama-is-subjected-to-blackmails-2/ Obama took tons of campaign money from the Radical and Rich Gay Agenda and he paid them off or rather back very fast. The donating of millions to find out why Lesbians drink comes right out of the same departments which he richly planted with Gays/Lesbians/Transgenders. Just today I read for the first time what might be behind is fascination with them……Read it for yourself: He is now busy breaking down every decent social norm we have in this country……Why? He plays actively or at least did with the fast and furious at the Chicago Bath.
