DD and I were just watching Child of our Time together and discussing social attitudes, DD (who is not heterosexual) says that many people today think it is more acceptable to be a different sexuality to the majority than it is to be obese - I think she's probably right as it's not an issue any more if you are hetero or homosexual in my social circles but a lot of people frown upon people for being obese (I don't, it's an issue for them to consider. I'm not thin myself)
