BBC to Air Documentary on Rugby Player Who Woke up Gay

 

A Welsh amateur rugby player who says a stroke turned him gay is the subject of a BBC Three documentary being broadcast in the UK this evening. Writes Pink News:

 

Chris Birch, now 27, was a Welsh bank employee who weighed 19 stone and enjoyed heavy drinking sessions.

 

Following a stroke in 2011, he is now a Welsh hairdresser with sweeping dyed hair and a male fiancé.

 

I Woke up Gay will examine how Birch’s personality changed so abruptly.

 

He tells the BBC: “I was doing a forward roll down a grass bank one day and cut off the blood supply to my brain which caused a stroke to happen. It was from there, while I was recovering, that I realised I’d changed.

 

“The Chris I knew had gone and a new Chris sort of came along. I came to the realisation that the stroke had turned me gay.”

 

The show airs at 9pm and will be available for streaming for seven days on BBC iPlayer (UK only).

It's possible. But strokes sometimes reduce impulse control, so if he was closeted (or even denied his gayness to himself) before, he might have a harder time keeping it up now.

Harder time keeping it UP? ... oh ... I see what you meant.

Yeah, that would be my guess too.

After living in Europe many years, I learned to really appreciate the physique of rugby players (over football players) for their really sculpted legs, butts and bods. Wish even more discovered they liked playing on our team!!!

Euro Rugby Dudes are definitely Hunks! But waking up looking like a Bloomingdales/Barney's Grad? That's a stretch!

Totally agree about how good looking many rugby players are...along with Aussie football players...yum.

 

As for the hairdresser thing...it's just a phase....
