Dude claims painkillers turned him gay

A 23-year-old guy who took painkillers after sustaining a go-karting injury insists that the meds made him gay. Yeah ok dude, because that's how sexuality works.

Scott Purdy broke his foot whilst out go-karting with the boys and was later prescribed Pregabalin for the pain. Before taking the meds Scott claims he loved perving over racy pictures of women, but after taking the painkillers he said he lost all sexual attraction to women and even dumped his girlfriend. Scott says:

I noticed my libido for women had gone and I was wanting male attention.I was with a girlfriend I had been with for around six months. I had never been interested in men. When I was younger I was a little bit curious but…A couple of weeks after I started taking it I turned around and said I didn’t find her physically attractive anymore. She knew I was taking Pregabalin.I said to her, ‘I don’t really know what’s happening to me and I told her I like men and I just can’t be with you.’She was relatively understanding, as understanding as you could possibly be.

After reading up on the meds, Scott discovered that loss of libido was one of the side-effects. Funnily enough, turning gay wasn't listed. Scott also says:

I just think people should know about this. If anyone gets prescribed this in the future, I think they should know what this medication can do. It took me a while to realise what it was. I stopped taking it for a few weeks and that desire for men just left. But I’m on it now; I’m very happy. I want to keep on taking it because it makes me feel happy about my sexuality. It’s made me feel very open. It’s liberating. I had been taking it for a few weeks and I have come to the realisation that when I take it I want males.It did come as a shock to people. I posted it on Facebook. I didn’t tell them the reason why but I just said to them, ‘I’m open; I’m gay.’

Or maybe you've just always been gay dude?! Scott is currently talking to a guy on Plenty of Fish and is due to meet him for a date next week.
