I absolutely LOVE this video clip. This clip is from the “Cartman Sucks” episode of the 11th season of South Park. In this episode, Butters is assumed to be “bi-curious” and is sent to a religious camp that will “fix him.” This is the speech Butters gives at the end of this episode to talk his “accountabilibuddy” down for killing himself for being attracted to other men.
Not only is Butters himself supposed to be an adolescent, but tons of high school students watch this show. I find it refreshing that they can talk about such a serious topic and give it a positive spin and show support for the gay community. Of course, the whole episode is about adversity. I would have liked to have seen a little more sensitivity posed for the suicides of those who do feel trapped like Bradley does at the end here.
