A burly 120.6kg rugby player in Wales, UK, suffered a stroke while training - and woke up gay. Chris Birch, 26, was straight and engaged when the freak accident switched off his affection for the opposite sex.
He endured a stroke during the ordeal and was rushed to hospital where his family – including his fiancĂ©e – waited anxiously for news. But when he came round he fancied guys instead of girls. He said: "I was gay when I woke up and I still am."
Friends were stunned by the dramatic change. "It sounds strange but when I came round I immediately felt different. 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."
The transformation even meant the bank worker felt the need to change jobs - and he became a hairdresser.
Chris, of Ystrad Mynach, South Wales, said: "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 120.6kg skinhead, to an 69.8kg preened man.
"People I used to know barely recognised me and with my new look I became even more confident."
He now lives with partner Jack Powell, 19, above the salon he works in. He said: "I think I'm happier than ever, so I don't regret the accident. I'm nothing like the old Chris now but I wouldn't change a thing." Source: The Sun, UK.
