“…Our sample was relatively young (mean age between 22 and 23 years for all groups). French et al (1996) have argued that young lesbians and heterosexual women may not differ in attitudes toward their bodies as these do not develop until mature adulthood, along with greater socio-political awareness. It would be interesting to see whether differences in exercise motivations would be found in older lesbian and heterosexual women.…”

“…The authors recognize the problems endemic to convenience sampling; however, due to the nature of the gay community, random sampling is virtually impossible. This is a well-recognized limitation in this area of research and it has not prevented previous studies using convenience sampling from being published in peer-reviewed journals (Beren et al, 1996;French et al, 1994;Gettleman & Thompson, 1993;Harvey & Robinson;2003;Herzog et al, 1991;Lakkis et al, 1999;Russell & Keel, 2002;Siever, 1994;Williamson & Hartley, 1998;Yager et al, 1988).…”

“…Furthermore, little is known about how lesbian women respond to media representations of gay women. Research comparing both gay and straight men and women indicate that gay women are not nearly as susceptible to disordered eating as are gay men (Beren et al, 1996;French et al, 1994;Harvey & Robinson;2003;Lakkis et al, 1999; 120 JOURNAL OF HOMOSEXUALITY Russell & Keel, 2002;Williamson & Hartley, 1998). One possible explanation for this is the influence of the Feminist movement on the lesbian community, providing a sociopolitical inoculation against such psychological problems (Siever, 1996).…”

“…Several studies found that lesbians are more accepting of their bodies and more tolerant of higher weight in self and others (Bergeron & Senn, 1998;Gettelman & Thompson, 1993;French et al, 1996;Herzog, Newman, Yeh, & Warshaw, 1992;Maor, 2012;Markey & Markey, 2014;Morrison et al, 2004;Polimeni et al, 2009;Siever, 1994;Swami & Tovee, 2006). However, other studies found lesbians to be similar to heterosexual women in concerns about weight, appearance, body acceptance, and/or dieting (Brand et al, 1992;Davids & Green, 2011;Feldman & Meyer, 2007;Heffernan, 1996;Keridwen, 2012;Huxley, Clark, & Halliwell, 2012;Kozee & Tylka, 2006;Peplau et al, 2009).…”
