Big Gay Al is a stereotypical homosexual man who first appeared in the Season One episode, " Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride ". He is known for his flamboyant and positive demeanor and usually responds to the greeting "How are you?" with an upbeat "I'm super! Thanks for asking!".

Is big gay al actually based off of a person? I’ve been Googling this to find out if they creators used someone they knew or if it was just satire, does anyone know?.

Big Gay Al once ran "Big Gay Al's Big Gay Animal Sanctuary" in South Park, teaching us all that being gay is just super! After disappearing in a magical suitcase for a while, he returned as the kids' beloved Boy Scout leader, before being fired for his sexual orientation.

A national controversy erupts as the Mountain Scouts are called a hate group by the media and prominent supporters like Steven Spielberg withdraw their support. Big Gay Al sues the Mountain Scouts, while Mr. Grazier is revealed to be a pedophile who goes by the name "Mr. Slippyfist" and is arrested.
