Kinda amazing that they would pull Big Gay Al, when that episode was lauded for presenting a gay guy as basically a normal, reasonable guy. One of the healthiest adults on the show.
But they don’t pull the “being trans is like wanting to be black to be better at basketball, or turning yourself into a dolphin”?
There’s something so fucked about the removal of that particular episode. South Park can be straight up homophobic at points, why would you take down one of the more positive episodes?

It’s even blocked on southpark.cc.com! WTF
That makes zero sense.
Like that episode won a GLAAD award. Why would you remove something that was pretty historic in portraying gay people as normal and healthy?
I can’t really think of anything wrong with that episode, even by non South Park standards. This is really gross.
