Footy player woke up gay after stroke: Daily Telegraph

No, this is not a joke.
Footy player woke up gay after stroke
And it's great how he's become every gay stereotype possible.
The response on my Facebook feed seems to be "Suuuuuure, buddy, whatever you say."
Hee hee.
So, is the original engagement still on? The story doesn't say. And if not, who broke it off?
no word on how good a hairdresser he has suddenly become ...
Is it common to call rugby "footy" in the UK?
@Michelle LOL!!
That's obviously the real story. Just think if we could isolate the hairdresser gene! What incredible progress we could make coiffing industry!
Rumour going around that stroking is all about technique...
You mean it's not the size of your stroke but what you do with it?
Reminds me of that line from Adaptation, "I think if I had cancer I might divorce my husband, because then nobody could blame me" (or something like that).
But seriously, given that we don't really know why some people are hetero and others are homo, we can't really say that his story isn't true. Maybe someday we actually will be able to choose our sexuality by inducing the right kind of seizures. When you think about it, now that our sexuality has evolved well past the whole procreation imperative, there's no reason for us all not to be bisexual except that many of us just... aren't. It's biology, in my opinion. But if we really could monkey with that, it seems rational for bisexuality to become the norm, with male culture worldwide turning into a constant giant orgy (instead of a giant sublimation of one, ie: sports, strip clubs, the army, etc), and women everywhere shaking their heads at these infantile wankers who won't stop screwing their beer buddies long enough to take out the friggin' garbage.
Yeah, when he says, "I've never been happier," this sounds like the stroke was a pretext, though plausible since a stroke could alter midbrain function. Regardless, I'm glad he's never been happier. If only that 11 year old German girl who's going to be forcibly androgenated were so lucky. But as we economists (okay, just me) like to say, these two different activities have vastly differing barriers to entry. (That, by the way, accounts for a good deal of the disparity in identifiable prevalence)
The other possibility is that he could be bi. These things arn't cut and dry by any means.
