For most, a broken neck followed by a stroke spells serious travesty, if not death. But Chris Birch, 26 years old and a former rugby player in the U.K., says he wouldn’t turn back time if he had to with regard to the accident.
The Daily Mail has more from Birch:
“I think I’m happier than ever, so I don’t regret the accident.
[...]
I wouldn’t change a thing.”
What was so life changing and positive about what usually would have been a devastating accident? When Birch woke up in the hospital after the stroke, he said he had turned gay.

According to the Daily Mail, Birch was trying to show off with a back flip to his friends while in the gym, when he landed incorrectly and broke his neck. When he came to in the hospital, he said he felt completely different and was no longer interested in women, including his girlfriend with whom he had planned to settle down with:
“Suddenly, I hated everything about my old life. I didn’t get on with my friends, I hated sport and found my job boring.

I started to take more pride in my appearance, bleached my hair and started working out.
I went from a 19st skinhead to a 11st preened man.
People I used to know barely recognized me and with my new look I became even more confident.”
Birch’s neurologist is reported as saying the stroke opened up a different part of his brain. According to the American Stroke Association’s website, emotional and behavioral changes are common — along with the many physical impairments that are associated with strokes, which Birch seems to have been spared from.

Posted on November 9, 2011 at 6:17amNo, your right MIA2, this answers the big debate, Freud was correct when he stated the being gay was mental illness. This is very odd. I do suspect the man was gay before hand and this just provided him and opportunity to come out, maybe removed the inhibitions. I, personally believe gay practices is a result of some type of predatory sexual incest on the person while still in the developmental stages of life. This leads to a skewed idea about what love is and lust with the same sex is adopted. Again, what came first, the chicken or the egg ?? IT doesn’t matter, people are gay.

Posted on November 9, 2011 at 4:05amIt also seriously undermines any argument that homosexuality is immoral in any moral framework that assumes conscientious autonomy as a prerequisite for moral action.

Posted on November 9, 2011 at 12:45amWhat a huge joke, more like his brains were scrambled up big time. Anyone with any little bit of medical knowledge will tell you a stroke will effect your thoughts. He killed a bunch of brain cells, so it is more like he isn’t in his right mind.

Posted on November 9, 2011 at 12:28amNo…he was wussified long before the stroke he just didn’t know it. It started with his parents, political correctness and schools drummed it into his brain and seeing other wussified men made him think he was looking at other girls.
Men are not raised to be men any more. hey are raised to be soft, feminine, weak, needy and compassinate beyond the pale. He was raised a girl like almost all of our men are raised now. They are not raised to be tough and self sufficient, taught to hunt and beat the crap out of aggessors.. Put them in safety seats, make them ride bihes with helments and coddle and protect them and you get this almost every time. A big ole WUSSY!
On the other end of the spectrum, you have the gansta punks, who are not given manly instruction and corrected by a good old ass whipping so they end up on the cover of a rap album, in prison or at a OWS rally…The men who were supposed to be in their life to guide them abandonded them. So we end up with a worthless punk.
Men need to step up to the plate and fight back against wussification that makes gay men and get involved with their boys to make them real mean and not punks.
But, then again, you will let political correctness, no spanking and women rule the way a man should be raised…You get a society full of limp wristed liberal p@ssies and little tattooed punks. You deserve them.

Posted on November 9, 2011 at 5:39amExactly. I’d wager he was already a bit peckish towards the men folk, but didn’t want to come out. Held a girlfriend as a front and after this accident decided now was the time to come out, blame it on the accident, and perhaps even collect a bit on the dole.
