LGBT people have found to be 46-76% less likely to be on a sports team due to “gender nonconformity and athletic self-esteem.”
Other research out of the project finds that lesbians are more likely to see themselves as a healthy weight, even if they are not.
Conclusions listed included:”Physical activity contexts should be modified to welcome sexual minority males and females.”
That was a third of 1.5m's worth, with two more years of research left as of 2014.
EDIT- Hey, WTF not, I went further and here's what looks to me like the final result of that 1.5m:
Lesbian and bisexual women are at greater risk of being obese than heterosexual women
Measures included diet quality (...); calorie, fat, and fiber intake; and glycemic load and index.
On average, lesbian and bisexual women reported better diet quality (p<0.001) and diets lower in glycemic index (p<0.001) than heterosexual women.
BTW, Abstract's Results and Conclusions summary doesn't mention calorie intake at all, so I went further in and skimmed the damn thing:
According to their graphs, lesbian women both eat better and eat less calories, even though they are more obese.
Not only that, but women in particular are very good hamstering each other into believing something when in groups. The whole "crowd-sourced morality" that is currently prevalent in society is a female thing - women talk to each other, and basically decide if that thing is right/wrong (or true/false) based on how they collectively "feel" about that thing. Therefore, lesbians, being in a relationships with women, are probably going to reinforce each others delusions more than men would reinforce female delusions in heterosexual relationships. Not to mention that lesbians probably mostly avoid men and thus are completely surrounded by women and only women.
Article was written in 2013 in the future tense. I looked into it and there's another article written the next year about the results:

That's 1.5m well spent, folks.
So they became lesbian after they became obese?
And now they regret it and try and eat healthy?
edit: NIH can venmo me $1.5m
I think the takeaway here is that they lie to researchers about their diet just like they lie to themselves about who they are.
