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:

https://www.thepinknews.com/2014/09/01/study-attributes-75-lesbian-obesity-to-athletic-low-self-esteem/

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:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5329123/

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.

That's 1.5m well spent, folks.

However, differences between lesbian and heterosexual women in [diet quality] were larger during younger compared to older ages, suggesting that diet quality estimates among sexual orientation groups converged as women aged.

In other words, women who grow to become lesbians ate worse when they were younger than their peers.

Is there any wisdom that can be gleamed from this? Maybe the fact that women who become lesbians grow in a less optimal household if their worse diet quality when young is an indicator of that. Then again, how will homosexuality, which is psychological in origin, develop without a "less optimal household" anyway? Seems pretty obvious to me.
