Can painkillers turn you gay?

The pills Mr Purdy was prescribed, Pregabalin, which he claims have made him gay

A young man claims that he has become gay after taking pain-killers when he broke his foot in a go-karting accident.

Unemployed Scott Purdy, 23, says he was a hot-blooded heterosexual and enjoyed dating women before he started taking Pregabalin, also known as Lyrica.
