He Claims He Woke Up Gay!!!!!!

To paraphrase Joy Behar "...what probably happened is he went to bed gay...."

This is stereotypical and ridiculous on so many levels but the part that makes me think he's auditioning for a reality tv show is:

I saw a link to this story earlier. I haven't clicked it, but your comments seem to mirror my sentiments after reading the headline. I'll look when I get home, but suspect my stance won't change.

I have a feeling that Joy summed it up best. Perhaps being faced with his own mortality caused him to reevaluate his priorities.

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.

My first thought was "That must have been one hell of a dream."

Just as I thought -- bullshit

Also, it looks like the papers that ran the stories/that he spoke with (Daily Mail and Daily Mirror) are tabloids, a la National Enquirer.

He is probably an aspiring actor.

I'm actually surprised that this wasn't a link to the Onion.

Maybe a different type of stroke turned him gay.

Ok, seriously, this doesn't sound real. He turned into a complete stereotype.
