STRAIGHT MAN ‘BECOMES GAY’ AFTER STROKE
A straight man in South Wales is reported to have ‘become gay’ after an accident in which he broke his neck and suffered a stroke.
When he woke up in hospital he says he was quite a different man; now finding himself attracted to men.
“I was gay when I woke up and I still am. It sounds strange but when I came round I immediately felt different,” Birch told the Mail.
“I wasn’t interested in women any more. I was definitely gay. I had never been attracted to a man before – I’d never even had any gay friends.
“But I didn’t care about who I was before, I had to be true to my feelings.”
Birch went on to break up with his fiancée, lose 50 kilograms and train as a hairdresser, his current profession. He now also lives with his 19-year-old boyfriend.
Commentators on The Daily Mail site have speculated that Birch used the accident as “an excuse” to come out.
Neurological experts say, however, that Birch’s experience could be due to his brain opening up new pathways or un-used parts of his brain in an attempt to adapt to the injuries from the stroke.
“Whether or not the stroke turned Chris gay, or whether he was gay anyway but unaware of it, his experience seems to be a positive one, which is great,” said Stroke Association spokesman Joe Korner.
Sounds a lot like “I love you Phillip Morris” to me. What utter and complete BS! The coward was probably always gay, and with the stroke he had the perfect excuse to come out, and people will say “shame – he had no choice”. What damage does this do to perceptions, and poor young gay guys struggling to accept themselves to hear that they are “brain damaged”. And how stereotypical cliche can you get, training as a hairdresser. What a sad sad excuse for a man
Amen to that! That guy was ALWAYS gay. I don’t care if he was married and had 87 kids, that would all have been a front to cover his gayness. People will go to great extents to hide their homosexuality. This guy just used the accident as a way to finally come out. After all, what kind of jerk would make fun of a man that broke his neck and suffered a stroke. A stroke of genius is more like it! He probably feels like the luckiest man in the world for being able to cop to his gayness and get no flack for it.
