They were talking about this on the radio this morning and a few people called in to sort of validate that this could be possible. One was a woman whose female partner of 10 years suffered a traumatic brain injury and when she came out of her coma, she became very feminine and was interested in men instead of women. One was a neurologist who talked about how the PET scans of homosexual men show different areas of activity in the brain when stimulated than is typical for heterosexual men. He said that the way the brain heals itself and builds new connections to work around dead tissue after a stroke or injury, this is plausible to him. A psychologist also called in and suggested that perhaps he was gay all along but didn't want to admit it. After having a scare like this, he decided he was going to live his life the way he wanted, not how society wanted.
